Hmm. I haven't taken him to be as scary as some of you. I agree with your assessment, in that his skill set in the wrong hands could be dangerous. But he is much different than trump. Most notably, he's not white, and the people he is courting actually do care about that, whether they admit it or not. Second, he does not have the name recognition or place in the American zeitgeist that trump had when he first ran. I saw someone mention he is probably angling to be a conservative pundit, which makes sense to me. He has to know that the conservative base will never embrace a brown person like him, so running seems like it's more about setting up a career for himself, rather than truly seeking the office. At any rate, he's insane and a truly dispicable person, so here's hoping he eats shit.
