What scares the f*ck out of you?
 
Ted Cruz, White House, maybe I over-react...

No, no, no over-reaction. Scares the f*ck out of me.

No matter who becomes President, we are screwed.

I believe your assessment to be accurate, although I'm hoping the GOP hasn't sunk that low... yet. :unsure:

That scares me about as much as Killary getting the nod.

Anyone who starts running this early is just a money and publicity grab. The viable candidates come later.

He could be running for VP, locking down the nutty right. Not someone I'd be comfortable with as a running mate if i were a middle right GOP candidate because I wouldn't want to get assassinated the first time I signed some normal bill.

Hillary is another deranged neo-con cut from the same cloth as Bush III Return of the Rich Guy. She's obviously unacceptable but for different reasons than Fox News promotes.

He isn't going to run, but I think Mark Warner would be a good choice. He was a good Virginia governor back in the day. If they didn't have term limits, he would have easily been reelected.

It was a different time back then, but I still think he would make a better president today than any of the other names being kicked around.

He doesn't have a big ego though. I feel like presidents have to have big egos. The trick is to balance that with some substance to back the big ego up.

Cruz's speech at Liberty University was saturated with:
Quote:

"Imagine this"... "Imagine that"... "Imagine something else"...
But he left out one extremely important vision:

Imagine Ted Cruz as President :eek:

Ted Cruz is a walking, talking pile of smarm.

Any politician who's been successful in Virginia would make me ask why, since it contains the richest and poorest counties in the nation.

My favorite story about him is that when he was at Harvard Law, he didn't want to study with students from the "minor Ivies".

Dear heaven ... Justin Bieber AND Ted Cruz? I fold my Canadian flag.

Don't worry, he claims he was born in Canada, but I know people who know people who have solid evidence he was born in Kenya. :thumb:
