Well, it’s a fair thing to say that Landru (TOS episode “Return of the Archons”) was a Democrat.

Crap, don't open that can of worms.
The MSM has dashed off to interview Wm Shatner as we speak. Expect lefty Shatner to say something snide about Cruz and the MSM to sneeringly play the soundbite, over and over.

Star Trek is big government utopianism. Especially after TNG.
I expect writers and actors will jump at the chance to ridicule him, because leftists are petty like that.

Did Cruz just say a leader might need a “Democratic side” to be “complete”?

How about the TOS episode “This Side of Paradise”, that featured the late Jill Ireland? That episode was a fairly good comment on mindless welfare state freeloading and related ills.

But the very best commander of all was Captain Benjamin Lafayette Sisko was the best of the bunch! The man knew when you had to color outside the lines and by just how much!
Captain Sisko: So... I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all... I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again - I would. Garak was right about one thing: a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant. So I will learn to live with it... Because I can live with it... I can live with it... Computer - erase that entire personal log.
Q:"You hit me... Picard never hit me."
Sisko:"I'm not Picard."

I just watched Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country . Kirk comes across as a war mongering Rebuplican. I don’t think the real Kirk would be thrilled by the Iran deal.

No, the Next Generation didn’t air “some 30 years later”. Star Trek came out in 1966. TNG came out in 1987. That’s only 21 years.

Star Trek was a Western, while The Next Generation was a therapy session.

How about Trelane from “The Squire of Gothos”? Kind of makes you think about Dems when he was holding Kirk and his shipmates against their will but promising all sorts of fun and games in return, lol.

Star Trek in the 60s was a fun adventure series with, as Cruz says, working class "lunch pail" military types, doing a job on the frontier. Kirk standing there holding the constitution in that one episodes and holding it in reverance is good enough evidence to me which side he was on.
On the other hand, in the 80s the producers felt that it was best to remove all conflict, that we'd all be automaton agents of the massive state and thus no conflict in our "perfected" society would occur. This has two sins. First, it's a scary concept that people would all just be robots without differences. Second, it's TERRIBLE writing that results in boring speechifying. So yeah, TNG is a democrat dream of a lifeless, boring society where people are not allowed to take risks that aren't sanctioned by the state or even to hold opinions of their own. A bunch of mindless holodeck slaves under the rule of a few hand picked elites who know what's best for them. Yep, Democrat ideal society alright.

Shatner is a Canadian-I don’t think he is an American citizen-but the character James Tiberius Kirk is most definitely conservative-and seriously badass-Shatner played him that way, and so does the new guy, Chris Pine in the new ST movies. Kirk is one of my fav heroes of fiction.
Picard had his moments, but they were few and far between-mostly he made me wonder how he ever got a ship’s command at all, never mind the flagship...

JTK will be born in Riverside, Iowa. Iowa has two Republican Senators and three of four Representatives. Unless things change between now and March 22, 2233, it’s more likely he is a Republican than Democrat.
