I'm with you on that one. Trump is that crazy uncle that spouts off ridiculous and baseless political decrees, with his self-perceived superhuman vision he is compelled to share after a few beers. "The whole (place any complex nationally relevant issue here) can be simply solved by (the most obviously incorrect decision) because, unlike me, no one really understands that..." More bark than bite.

Ted Cruz is that other scary quiet guy in the room that looks for ways to slowly manipulate others around him by working their individual fears and building off of those fears. He is strategic and is in it for the long haul. He could make stuff happen.

I'll take dumpster fire number one, the Trump presidency.
