Only a smug zealot could deny Trump, or any of these Presidential candidates, is a politician. The average person knows better.

You sure give a fine impression of a Cruzbot, though.

How many times have I said, I don't support any of these politicians?

And a "bot"? What is that, some kind of insult to my intelligence, smug zealot? Want to match IQ numbers?

Why do you insist on being the turd in the punch bowl all over this thread? You’re boring, and that’s just your good quality.

Ah, so you are admitting to being average. No wonder people of discernment look "smug" to you. You sure give a fine impression of a Cruzbot, though.

Notice how I went out of my way to say "give the impression"? That was giving you the benefit of the doubt. But apparently you're too inflamed to notice. And a "bot"? What is that, some kind of insult to my intelligence, smug zealot? Want to match IQ numbers?

To quote C.S. Lewis from his Screwtape Proposes A Toast,

No man who says I’m as good as you believes it. He would not say it if he did. The St. Bernard never says it to the toy dog, nor the scholar to the dunce, nor the employable to the bum, nor the pretty woman to the plain. The claim to equality, outside the strictly political field, is made only by those who feel themselves to be in some way inferior. What it expresses is precisely the itching, smarting, writhing awareness of an inferiority which the patient refuses to accept.

I happen to disagree with Lewis on one point, though. As the behaviour of Cruz towards Trump has shown, it holds in this campaign as well: Cruz resents his inferiority to Trump.
