(25,699 posts)Ignoring your (relatively bright) advisers in order to start a second front in a stalemated war by invading an ally who happens to be Russia is not the mark of a brainy man.

(25,699 posts)His antipathy of "Jewish science" guaranteed that he not only exiled the brains, but also discarded the research that could have led to a nuclear weapon in German hands.

(14,177 posts)I don't like Hitler analogies though, even if they are true. Some people think the game is lost when you bring up dictators and mass murderers. I don't sometimes you just call em as you see em. However, most people think that extremists are as rare as unicorns thus the comparison is ridiculous. I hope we never see a President Cruz to be able to say I told you so.

(25,406 posts)and Cruz's opposition to Obamacare is stupid and offensive. Cruz is an example of the worst kind of obnoxious, wrongheaded Republican, but we don't have to try to turn everyone we dislike into Adolf Hitler.

(34,123 posts)As it trivializes Hitler and the Holocaust. Cruz is bad, but he has not tortured and sent millions to the gas chambers.
