[Robert DeLong]

He was intelligent and brilliant enough to fool me and lots of others for years, but you are right, he showed his true self during the election process. He is indeed all of the things you said, and even more.

However, if you look up the word Machiavellian, it is defined as follows: cunning, scheming, and unscrupulous, especially in politics or in advancing one's career.

To me, that describes Cruz to a tee.

Sorry for answering a question with another question, but do you consider Hillary to be “brilliant” too ?
