"Cruz's 'dark and satanic tones'"... seems that he has "satanic looks", too!

COMMENTS: 
*  The tones are merely demonic, it's his political economy that is dowright satanic
*  I am a liberal Democrat, and I will admit I am biased. But I think Jeb is a decent guy, just no political skill on the big stage. Christie has talent, and there is something to be said for an outspoken leader. Kashic is fine. Trump is horrible, but at least he is entertaining. Even Rubio, a bit of a lightweight, but whatever...But man this Ted Cruz is such a disgusting person. Look at his face. I'm sorry, I know that what I am going to say is shallow, and sorry for this juvenile insult but the guy looks like a gay vampire (and even that is an insult to gay vampires!) and you are right, his politics are so extreme, his rhetoric is so transparent, the earnest stare, that ridiculous twang. He trolls constantly. How he appeals to anyone beyond the same Texas idiots who gave us W and who fear Jade Helm and Ebola and whatever else enters their fevered transom is beyond me.
*  Terd Cruz, the devilspawn of Grandpa Munster and Leona Helmsley.
*  If you want to know about Tail-Gunner Ted's ancestory just put a picture of him next to Tail-Gunner Joe McCarthy and tell me you don't see the resemblance, especially politically.
*  The Conservative Republican movement since the Tea Party is “combative,” “angry,” and “apocalyptic.” Cruz is talking the language of his people. If you recall the language of earlier conservatives like William F. Buckley or a Ronald Reagan there was none of that tint to their discourse. This is not the voice of reasonable educated voters in a democracy. It is the voice of those who are close to violence towards the opposition and all they needed is a strong leader to bring it about. Whether it is a Cruz or Trump is yet to be seen. How can you speak in ugly terms and not be seen as ugly?
*  Cruz is the most dangerous man in America at the moment. He is a demagogue, but a very smart one.

Brooks cites Cruz's 'dark and satanic tones'
By Kristen East, January 10, 2016

Ted Cruz may have made great inroads with Christian evangelicals, but conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks isn’t buying the candidate’s “dark and satanic tones.”

In an interview this weekend with PBS, Brooks tells host Judy Woodruff that Cruz’s world is “combative,” “angry,” and “apocalyptic.” And while he continues to rise in state and national polls, Brooks said other candidates, like Marco Rubio, are starting to use similar rhetoric.

"Ted Cruz is making headway. There's ... you begin to see little signs of liftoff. Trump has sort of ceiling-ed out. Carson is collapsing. And Cruz is somehow beginning to get some momentum from Iowa and elsewhere," Brooks said. "And so people are either mimicking him, which Rubio is doing a little by adopting some of the dark and satanic tones that Cruz has."

He continues: “If you watch a Cruz speech, it’s like, we have got this enemy, we have got that enemy, we’re going to stomp on this person, we’re going to crush that person, we’re going to destroy that person."

Co-panelist David Corn, the Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones, said he believed the satanic tones actually come from Cruz’s dad, Rafael Cruz, who is an evangelical pastor.

Brooks continued, saying the Republicans “need a tough guy to beat that back,” in a way offering up candidate Marco Rubio as an alternative, should he not adopt the same rhetoric as Cruz.

“He’s a sunny … he’s been running the youthful optimism campaign, but he’s beginning, to prevent Cruz from getting liftoff, to mimic sort of that, get a piece of that,” Brooks said. “I mean, if Rubio starts to go like Cruz, he just doesn’t look like himself, and that bothers people."
