If Trump isn't the republican nominee, then Cruz will be, and he scares me a lot more than Trump does.
Edit: A lot of people are asking me what scares me so much about Cruz. This is a quick but not comprehensive list of his positions that I disagree with:
Doesn't understand what the debt limit is, but is totally in favor of destroying America's position in the economic world to oppose the raising of it.
In favor of a flat tax. I get that a flat tax can sound appealing at times, but the reality of it is that it is an extremely regressive tax doctrine.
Signed the Grover Norquist anti-tax pledge. I can get behind the idea of trying to keep taxes lower, but the anti-tax pledge isn't about that, Norquist's plan is literally for the government to collapse once there isn't enough money to fund it.
In favor of the TPP.
"adamantly opposed to a higher minimum wage." and in fact doesn't think that there should even be a minimum wage.
To say Cruz is against abortion is putting it lightly. He not only opposes abortion, but wants to eliminate Planned Parenthood, despite all of the good that it does for women.
Wants to privatize schools. In fact, he wants to close down the entire Department of Education.
Is the ringleader behind most of the government shutdown nonsense of the past few years.
Staunch opponnent of gay rights, going so far as to tell people that they should ignore Supreme Court decisions in favor of those rights.
Totally opposed to any kind of immigration reform.
Opposed to net neutrality.
Opposed to marijuana legalization.
Thinks climate change isn't a thing.
His views on the Middle East are just nonsense, claiming to not want to intervene, but at the same time wanting to carpet bomb terrorists and bring the fight to ISIS.
And above all, he's a religious fundamentalist who takes things so far that, like Trump, he's even been called out by the pope.
