We thought we'd killed the demon but the MFer won't stay dead!

I would not eat them
with a grump,
I would not eat them
with a Trump…

Because he is a self-important, smarmy weasel who is willing to blow everything up if he doesn’t get his way. Who knows? Maybe he actually believes he was chosen by God.

There is nothing sane about Cruz, and he is much more dangerous than Trump simply because he is smarter. Trump would be an ineffectual president, Cruz would not be. As president, Cruz’ Dominionist positions would begin to permeate all levels of a government that would be more theocratic than ever. Look at the Bush 2 Justice department for a very small sample of how quickly and easily a government agency can be coopted and corrupted.

That would be a violation of the "Agreement Between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America Concerning the Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Waste.’

Exactly. The most dangerous fanatic is a religious fanatic. If Trump wins, the rest of the system will just isolate him to minimize the damage. If Cruz wins, the theocrats turn this country into Iran or Saudi Arabia, complete with Morals Police. Cruz is a Believer. Trump is a poser.

The single most dangerous thing about a Cruz administration is he’ll have 2 to maybe 4 SCOTUS nominations that will make Scalia look like an atheist liberal.
Followed closely by his desire to have the SCOTUS brought to heel with retention elections.
But he so loves the Constitution. : old rolleyes:

I’m 95% sure you’re referring to Stephen King’s “The Tommyknockers.” It was written when King was composed entirely of cocaine. It revolves around a buried alien spaceship outside a small town in Maine. Towards the end the hero discovers that the ship crashed because the aliens were too busy fighting amongst themselves to drive straight.

Religious fanatic? Meh, they said the same things about G W Bush. And he only started one holy war. You liberals never give credit where credit is due.

While that is a commonly held and understandable misconception, he is not a vampire but a mime.

He is perfectly happy to support a Trump Nomination, as long as he get to control the platform.

I am sure Short Fingered Vulgarian would be perfectly happy to have terms dictated to him.

Hogwash. There was plenty of alcohol to go with that cocaine. :wink:

I’m not sure that Cthulhu would have anything to do with this guy.

Especially if they fight with guns.

IF ONLY! Mimes don’t talk.

But if we convince him he’s a mime, we could lure him into a glass box.
Or maybe find a wind he *can’t *walk into.

I know where we can find a bright tangerine windbag.

Wait, what?!? Independence day is the one with Will Smith right?

Party platforms are meaningless, except as a tool for the other party to point and laugh.

Even then, no one really gives a shit.

Trump is certainly capable of doing irreparable harm, but its a gamble, he might also govern a bit pragmatically. He’s shown himself capable of change and trying to please both sides on occasion if it aligns with his own beliefs.

With Cruz, you know he will be against sanity and reason from the start. This is a guy who shut down the government and caused a reduction in the credit of this country. He’ll scream bloody murder if he doesn’t get 100% of what he wants and he’d have the power to destroy the country if he doesn’t get his way. He’s a true believer, you have no chance to influence him, you either join him or get trampled. Compared to Trump, he’s a danger 100% of the time rather than 90% of the time.

Bad guys, especially nameless minions, don’t get the character development and nuance that good guys get. If one alien thinks something, they all think that way, same way as if one orc is evil, they are all evil, or one Chitauri.
