It is officially over. Ted Cruz has bowed out of the race for President. That means Donald Trump is the Republican nominee. I am sure Trump supporters are celebrating. Ted Cruz was not the only loser in this race. I am not distressed that Ted Cruz is not going to be the nominee. That really didn’t matter to me. I am actually angry with Ted Cruz for failing to win this election. There was far too much at stake. The problem is that Donald Trump is an unmitigated disaster. The only thing more frightening then Donald Trump losing to Hillary Clinton is Donald Trump getting elected President of the United States. Donald Trump has defeated Ted Cruz. That does not make Donald Trump any more acceptable as a candidate for President.
Ted Cruz went on a rant yesterday. It was a huge mistake by a desperate candidate, definitely a world class case of sour grapes. It was partially fueled by Donald Trump’s insane accusation that Rafael Cruz was an associate of Lee Harvey Oswald. Unfortunately, it also sounds an awful lot like the truth:
He doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth. And he had a pattern that I think is straight out of a psychology textbook. His response is to accuse everybody else of lying. He accuses everybody on that debate stage of lying, and it’s simply a mindless yell. Whatever he does, he accuses everyone else of doing. The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist. A narcissist at a level I don’t think this country has ever seen.
Cruz went on to predict that Trump will betray supporters on every issue. We better hope Cruz is wrong about that, but I fear that Cruz nailed it. Donald Trump has openly admitted to contributing millions of dollars to politicians in exchange for political favors. He may even rival the Clintons in terms of pay to play corrupt politics. At least the Clintons hide what they are doing because they know it is wrong. Donald brags about it because in his demented world, nothing he has ever done is wrong.
The RNC is now calling on people to unite behind Donald Trump. Good luck with that! I suspect there are a lot of people just like me. We can’t imagine voting for Hillary Clinton, but we also can’t imagine voting for Donald Trump. Spare me the nonsense about how failing to vote for Donald Trump is voting for Hillary. Neither of them deserves to win. Both of them deserve to lose. The problem is: we lose either way. I predict a world class case of buyer’s remorse, sooner rather than later. In the meantime, I am just going to sit this one out.
I will do some things. For the time being I am just going to turn off Fox News and CNN and put the TV on mute whenever I see, hear or read anything about the election, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. I will, instead, find other things to write about. How about those Giants!

You seriously underestimate Hilary Clinton’s ability and willingness to damage the US. She compromised the ENTIRE intelligence system – for her convenience. Trump will try to do the right thing – Hilary cares only about herself.
I share your opinion on Hillary. No disagreement on how bad she would be. I am not convinced that Trump will try to do the right thing, he seems to be only about himself. I would like to be wrong, but there are just too many warning signs to ignore. The only thing certain is that this is a very sad situation.
Business person as president well its different i just hope he surrounds himself with good people reagon did
I hope that will happen, but this is far from certain. Trump often contradicts himself in the same sentence.
You nailed it on every point. God help us.
