No, I don’t think there is a cult of personality around Cruz, Rubio, Carson, or most of the others. There definitely was one around Rand Paul’s father, but not so much around him.
But Donald has his cult of personality and his blind acolytes who are unwilling to look at the record of teh candidates, but just want to attack and shout down anyone who dares to disagree with them — IOW, they act like liberals.
I disagree.
