Now that we know the definition of theocracy, also knowing that Ted Cruz wants to institute a government run by "believers" as opposed to "unbelievers," let us try to define "The Donald" as some affectionately call him.
Donald Trump is a plutocrat. His "power derives from wealth." His celebrity status doesn't hurt, either. Donald panders ("I love evangelicals" or "I love the poorly educated") so as to "use" them to gain political power. He uses a paternalistic approach )"I'll take care of workers" and "I'll protect the evangelicals") to solidify a group of voters that lost good paying jobs or are fearful that Christianity, in particular, is being purposefully attacked (war on Christmas?).
Is Donald misogynistic ("I cherish women") as his numerous pronouncements have indicated over the past several decades or is he "respectful" of women for their many attributes?
Are we going to allow a man who is xenophobic (ban all Muslims), racist (President Obama a Muslim born in Kenya?) and autocratic (the CIA, generals and FBI will obey my orders) to become the leader of the free world?
Trump is condescending (If you're not the "winner" you're a "loser"), mean (How could anyone vote for that face?), arrogant, boastful, authoritarian, narcissistic, etc.

We, as voters, should be careful about voting for this "classic" schoolyard bully for president. His shallow and simplistic solutions to complex problems should disqualify him as a candidate for president of this already great country!
There is a 2007 movie called "There Will Be Blood." Daniel Day Lewis plays an oil tycoon who "uses" evangelicals to build an empire, exclusive of morals, and then ends up beating the pastor to death with a bowling pin. Trump, the empire builder, will "trump" the "evangelical" Cruz in the end. Watch and beware.
