I'm beginning to like Cruz for the GOP nomination. Trump is so outlandish and absurd, but he pays it back by being entertaining. In this new unenlightened age, there is no longer a line between entertainment value and information value. I think he would be pretty harmless if he were in office, which is clearly less good than being effective, but better than evil, which Cruz is.
Let's see, the Cruz scorecard for the past week or so is:
* Sent out deceptive mailings telling people that they were in violation of a non-existent law for a phony claim about their voting history, and that they should caucus for him. No apology forthcoming, politics as usual.
* Opened his post-caucus victory rally by saying "Glory be to God". Shameless huckstering. Says any candidate who doesn't begin each day with those words isn't fit to be President.
* Told his supporters that Carson was dropping out, and that they should caucus for him instead. Phony apology offered that blames a news outlet for the mistake, but they never said what he claimed.
* Sent a mailer to NH residents promising that any donation they make to him will be matched by a "
group of generous donors". This was knowingly deceptive, impossible to be true and very likely illegal.
* Said that if elected, he would abolish the IRS and institute a universal 10% VAT. Guess who that hurts the most.
I want him to be the nominee, because if a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich, a can of cat food could beat him by a landslide in the election.
