If Donald Trump is your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving then Ted Cruz is the charming sociopath your sister brings to Christmas. During a speech at the Rising Tide Summit in Iowa, the freshman senator from Texas whipped the crowd into a frenzy by suggesting President Barack Obama wasn't doing enough to defeat radical Islam.
Cruz thinks he can do better. "We will utterly destroy ISIS," he said. "We will carpet bomb them into oblivion. I don't know if sand can glow in the dark, but we're going to find out."
That's right, Ted Cruz just promised to nuke the Middle East if elected.

Channeling LBJ now, are we?
Is that what you took away from this post? How unsurprising.
Did he say it or not?
NEW YORK, Ny. â In response to a question regarding his policy on ISIS, Republican presidential candidate and billionaire Donald Trump told Meet the Press on Sunday that as Commander-in-Chief, he would authorize the use of nuclear weapons to combat Islamic extremism.
From link at 18. Looks like a wash to me. And you have an epic fail thread hung on you.
In the fwiw dept, on this forum on 9/11/01 I suggested the use of 3 W-88, one for Mecca, one for Medina, and one for Qom. We wouldn’t be having this problem now.
I must be crazy too.

A graph generated from an unknown poll in which 200 FReepers participate? And that is proof of something?
The founder of this website prefers Cruz. Maybe you shouldn’t damn him.
Cruz is a maniac and shouldn’t have his fingers anywhere near the button.
__________________________
Seriously, RC, do you REALLY think Trump is emotionally mature enough to have his fingers ‘on the button’, really?
Yes, he says the things we like to hear and yes, I would vote for him just to keep that screeching old bitch Hillary out of the White House.
Besides that, Cruz never said that he would nuke the middle east. However, I would like to keep that option on the table.
-— Iâm also right that he has no chance of winning a general election because his support is limited to a handful of religious extremists.-—
Well, you finally outed yourself as a anti-Christian bigot...
Cruz supporters are also conservatives, they voted for the conservative candidate...
I support Cruz first because he is a conservative not a religious person...
Well he’s got my vote now for sure.
All the Iranian nuke sites
One for Syria.
One for Iraq.
Two for Saudi (guess where!)
And TBD the rest
epic fail thread huh? LOL at you both.
props for the link
snipped the money quote from it in post 46.
I was right about Akin and Murdock too btw. Maybe we need to get Teddy talking about rape and abortion and see how it works out this time.
and GW didn’t listen to you? so shocking.
Reagan made similar comments about Iran being flat and glowing after election day. It was why the Iranians released the hostages within 20 minutes of him being inaugurated
“and GW didnât listen to you?”
Everyone makes mistakes.

OK, this, then: http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2015/12/19/3734020/trump-nuclear-weapons/
Are you saying it is wrong to use our nuclear weaponry?
Are you saying that Trump is afraid of using our nuclear weaponry, if necessary, to defeat ISIS?
did he then go on to question somebody else’s temperament?
