I’m a bit late to this thread. What I find a bit disturbing is that he was fretting as a child about obstacles to his becoming president. At what point does a kid become power-hungry enough to decide that he should be leader of the free world?

Not sure if it's "power hunger," but I was thinking along similar lines. He was already dreaming about being President as a kid.

Not sure if it's "power hunger,"...

I'd suspect the power desired was related to his father's religion. I have nothing to back that up but a gut suspicion.

What I find a bit disturbing is the revelation that, even as a kid, Cruz was fretting about his dual citizenship being an obstacle to his becoming president. At what point does a kid become power-hungry enough to decide that he should be leader of the free world?

This is VERY disturbing.....unmasks a gross insincerity of his calculated moves. It becomes clearer that he latched onto conservatism, and is using conservatives, as a stepping stone for his deep dark secret plan to achieve power.

One pundit surmised that once this guy ever got power he'd drop conservatives like a hot potato.
