It’s important to differentiate two different kinds of anti-government conservative: those who want a smaller government, and those who want to destroy government. The first are principled conservatives. The second are dangerous traitors to the system of governance America depends on.

Ted Cruz is in the second category. Yesterday, Iowa's secretary of state criticized the Cruz campaign for sending out a mailer to potential Cruz voters disguised as an official document, suggesting they had a legal obligation to show up at Monday’s caucuses. Cruz was unapologetic.

Just as he precipitated the federal government shutdown several years ago, urged House members to go off the “fiscal cliff,” and created such havoc in the Senate that all of his Republican colleagues oppose his candidacy, Cruz's willingness to undermine our governing system in pursuit of his own goals is unbounded.

Ted Cruz is not a small-government conservative. He is an unprincipled wrecking-ball.

What do you think?

I think we need someone like that... As it stands right now, the political system is just about past the point of no return that we're nearing the point where a hard reset is required in order for the American way of life to survive. Our politicians are corrupt, nobody in office is even thinking about the law, and the taxes and regulations that the government has been burdening us with have gotten so far out of hand that we need a "wrecking ball" president to fix it.

If we don't get someone in office that will correct our problems this time around, more drastic measures will likely be resorted to.

Have you ever made an anti-hillary meme? When it comes to "unprincipled wrecking-balls" running for president,... I can't imagine anyone,.. or anything worse than that walking disaster.

5 reasons Ted Cruz is even more dangerous than Donald Trump.
1. Cruz is more fanatical. Trump is a bully and bigot but doesn’t hew to any sharp ideological line. Cruz is a fierce ideologue: He denies the existence of man-made climate change, rejects same-sex marriage, wants to abolish the Internal Revenue Service, believes the 2nd amendment guarantees everyone a right to guns, doesn’t believe in a constitutional divide between church and state, favors the death penalty, opposes international agreements, embraces a confrontational foreign policy, rejects immigration reform, demands the repeal of “every blessed word of Obamacare,” and takes a strict “originalist” view of the meaning of the Constitution.
2. Cruz is a true believer. Trump has no firm principles except making money, getting attention, and gaining power. But Cruz really does detest the federal government, and has spent much of his life embracing radical right economic and political views. When Cruz said “we are facing what I consider to be the epic battle of our generation,” he wasn’t referring to jihadist terrorism but to Obamacare.
3. Cruz is Smarter. Trump is no slouch but he hasn’t given any indication of a sharp mind. Cruz is razer-sharp: It’s not just his degrees from Princeton and Harvard Law, along with an impressive record at Harvard, or even his winning arguments before the Supreme Court. For his entire adult life he's been a fierce debater with a intensely-logical debater’s mind.
4. Cruz is more disciplined and strategic. Trump is all over the place, often winging it, saying whatever pops into his mind. Cruz hews to a clear script and a carefully crafted strategy. He plays the long game (as he’s shown in Iowa). Cruz’s legal career entailed a sustained use of the courts to achieve conservative ends, and he plots his moves carefully.
5. Cruz is a loner who’s willing to destroy institutions. Trump has spent his career using the federal government and making friends with big shots. Not Cruz. Most of his Republican colleagues in the Senate detest him. And Cruz is eager to destroy: He has repeatedly crossed to the other side of the Capitol and led House Republicans toward fiscal cliffs. In the Fall of 2013, Cruz’s strident opposition to Obamacare – including a 21-hour talking marathon -- led in a significant way to the shutdown of the federal government.
Both men would be disasters for America, but Cruz would be the larger disaster.
