Well it looks like the uneasy alliance between narcissistic reality TV show charlatan Donald Trump, and the Muppet-headed Tea Party lunatic Tea Cruz has finally reached it's inevitable end. Now, while it may be fun to watch these two egomaniacal power hungry jackas*es tear each other apart, the real dilemma is deciding who to root for.
