What do you atheists think of Ted Cruz, and what would be the ramifications if he won the Repub nomination, or became President?
As near as I can tell, they would not be good.
All of the Republican candidates are in bed with the Christian right to some degree or another. But Ted Cruz takes it to a whole new level.
From what I have read he seems to be a dominionist, similar to Michelle Bachman ( a Godly lady from my home state!)
He has the endorsemnt of much of the religious right: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/arch...in/421563/
He also associates with Christian extremists:

There is much left- wing ballyhoo about the potential for a "Christian theocracy". They claimed we were living under such when GWB was prez, but that was not the case.
However, I fear it could be the case with Cruz.
