But some are, I believe, so consumed with their ego (Cruz, Clinton, Trump come to mind) that they have few if any moral counterbalance to it. I find those types especially scary. They are the Trotsky or Guevara of their movements in some way. Others (Carson?) Have a moral counterballance but are dangerous for their complete ignorance about the world (as I categorize Bush-2 and Carter).
Problem is, I'm having a hard time finding a candidate, in either party, who ISN'T a dangerous, ego-driven fool.

I don't like either option, but at least ignorance can be cured so I count it the lesse evil. Originally Posted by Old-T
