If you can't stand the thought of Donald Trump becoming president, the good news is that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) looks poised to upset him in the pivotal Iowa caucuses next month.
The bad news is that if Cruz succeeds and ultimately becomes the Republican nominee, he will prove to be far worse than Trump himself.
For one thing, Cruz has proved himself to be far more ideologically narrow-minded than Trump. For better or worse, Trump has been willing to defy conservative dogma on a number of issues (e.g., social security reform, progressive taxation, the 2003 Iraq War), indicating that at the very least he has a mind of his own. Cruz, on the other hand, has refused to waiver from the tenets of Tea Party doctrine even when the fate of America depended on it. That last statement isn't an exaggeration, by the way-anyone with a reasonably comprehensive memory can recall his instrumental role in causing a government shutdown at the end of 2013, one that business interests and moderates across the board vehemently opposed..........

Another endorsement!
Lehigh University you need to close your doors today. If this screaming temperament is the example of “critical thinking” on your campus, you have failed, completely, as a institution of higher learning.
Hah! If Salon hates them, then he’s the right guy.
Salon cracks me up.
Ha!!
I don’t care who your favorite candidate is, how can any freeper give credence to Salon and use this particular thread to divide against Cruz or Trump, the left knows exactly what they are doing apparently some freepers have not a clue, there is a sickness brewing some of the comments are astonishing.
So, being a doctoral student requires only a cursory understanding of writing. Good to know.
Nice. He’s fired.
Liberals are not going to tell you who they really fear. This is RAT Taqiyya. This is like Goldman Sachs telling you to invest in gold while they short it. It is clear who they really fear: the guy who has executive experience and has proven his ability to impose his will on large organizations.
Complete BS! Patriot Act, Amnesty, TPA, H1B visas, etc. Cruz is he bad boy of the DC political class club, but he is in the club!
Yes, Cruz is now the new champion of the Anybody but Trump wing of the uniparty. More then a few of us saw this coming when Jeb went no where in the polls. If rubio goes down too, likely, expect the full force of the uniparty rally behind Cruz and bash Trump.
You are now posting garbage from idiots at Salon? Sad to see how far you fallen CW. The Trump derangement syndrome is strong in this one.
“So now Salon has joined with the GOPe in its effort to elect Cruz (as theorized by some as to why Rush and Levin have “turned†on Trump). Kooky I know. But that seems to be what some are going with.”
Is that any more kooky than Cruz people calling Trump liberal when every leftist publication and TV network on Earth is calling him a Nazi?
“I don’t care who your favorite candidate is, how can any freeper give credence to Salon and use this particular thread to divide against Cruz or Trump..”
Oh these days even leftist publications have developed a new level of “respect” as long as it can be used against opponent A or to “prove” that the other guy must be “the right choice” because that publication hates him.
If we are going to entertain falsehood propaganda. Why does shillofthenight support hitlery and continue to beat his wife?
