During the GOP debate I kept wondering whether any of the candidates could win the Presidency — and every time I wondered, a cold shiver shook my spine. It shook the hardest when Ted Cruz — Sen. Sneer — spoke. He was bombastic, menacing, full of self-regard, bereft of humility or humor. The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse? You bet; that and worse. Every time he spoke, I heard jackboots clicking on cobblestones. Perhaps that’s why I didn’t sleep well last night.
