The masses have always craved bold, strong leadership.
Hitler appealed to that craving, rising to power from war-torn Germany to lead a nation to the brink of world domination.
Trump and Cruz both appeal to the same desire. Neither one will be a Hitler, but, like Hitler, neither has a real track record beyond their speeches.
When you look close, you see disturbing signs. Trump’s support of abortion, liberals and gay marriage. Cruz’s support for Iran, TPA and H1-B visas.
Would either be better than Obama? Yes, but our standards should not be that low.
Would either accomplish much beyond their speeches? Nobody knows for sure. Look at Obama....nice speeches, no real accomplishments.
Neither Trump nor Cruz have shown an ability to bring people together. Like Obama or Hitler, both have a “my way or no way” mindset.
Reagan had true leadership because he brought people to his cause by explaining (in very simple terms) why he was right.
Cruz has some of this talent, but has not employed it in his role in the Senate. I would like to see 8 years of a Governor Cruz before I pass judgement on him.
Trump may have written “The Art of the Deal” but his negotiations were typically with only a handful at a time, not with 535 at a time.
Are you high, drunk or both?
Reagan struck fear into the hearts of those 535 congress critters.
I disagree with you that Obama has no real accomplishments. He's been wildly successful in damaging the country. Gay marriage, more dependency, weakened military, strengthened Islam, Common core, border still open, and sowed seeds of fear and distrust between Americans.
SOme people are looking for a dictator, they just don't realize it. Think of the power Obama usurped for the presidency. Anybody hell bent on ruling us already has the bureaucracy and power to do so. And half the population will cheer as their political opposition is punished. America is in a dangerous place now.
Who is your preference?
