      @HeerJeet Trump, obvs. He's already done enormous damage to America's political culture.

      @willwilkinson @HeerJeet Probably the violence at rallies by itself puts Trump over the top.

      @UOJim @HeerJeet This just isn't about policy. It's about the opportunistic activation of the ugliest atavistic tribal impulses.

      @willwilkinson @UOJim You don't think Cruz's willingness to use nukes in middle east grows out of ugly atavistic tribal impulses?

      @HeerJeet @willwilkinson Contrariwise, loose threats of war have been with us a long time. Also bad. But not really new.

      @UOJim @willwilkinson Let's put it another way: Trump is George Wallace (freelance evil), Cruz is Thurmond (institutional evil). Both bad.

          @HeerJeet @UOJim @willwilkinson Trump's shift from dogwhistle to megaphone erodes the system in a way even a shitbag like Cruz can't

          @theseantcollins @UOJim @willwilkinson Trump does represent something new (or the return of something old), no question.

          @HeerJeet @UOJim @willwilkinson You are of course familiar with the fact that Wallace later profoundly reversed stance on segregation?

          @Coffman_Law @UOJim @willwilkinson Yep. Unpredictability & opportunism can sometimes (rarely) be a plus.

          @HeerJeet @UOJim Cruz is a conservative with a foreign policy less alarming than Rubio's. Maybe you think conservative Republican = evil?

          @willwilkinson @UOJim Well, I think American foreign policy, Democratic & Republican alike, is deeply wrongheaded. But waterboarding?
