Could President Cruz become an abysmal reality after a (potentially) scandal-ridden Clinton Presidency?

Let's say a prayer to the Lord that he doesn't. He wasn't any better than the greater evil.

I think Elizabeth Warren has a good chance of seceding Hillary to become the 2nd Woman and 1st Native-American POTUS if Hillary doesn't screw up too too badly. The best-case scenario is if Hillary is primaryed in 2020 by Warren and concedes to avoid a (likely) disastrous 2nd-term.

A 2016-2024 Hillary Presidency could practically all but guarantee Crazy Cruz a shot at becoming the 46th POTUS, a notion I find simply unacceptable.

With how today's society is more focused on style over substance, he'll never be able to win a presidency just because he looks "creepy". Which is pretty sad. Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't vote for him, but it has nothing to do with how he looks. I can understand and respect an ideological disagreement, but not voting for someone based on how they look...pathetic.
 
This thread sums up American politics, one long endless campaign.

No. Cruz is not an appealing guy. Hes smart, he knows his stuff. He just not likeable. For him to win, everyone else would have to be less likeable than him. And that's not gonna be easy.
 

Um... I dunno if you've been keeping up with the campaign, but... he's got a lot more going against him than looks.

I agree completely. Note how I said I would never vote for him, which has nothing to do with his looks. I was just stating how I find it sad if even one person votes against him simply because of his smarmy looks.
 

It is hard to say, what the situation will be in 2023, but unless Clinton is much, much better than her husband was, foreign affairs and security will be boiling over all across the stove.
