US Elections: Republican choice is the lesser of two evils

WHITE House contender Donald Trump is known for his incendiary campaign and his insulting of vulnerable minorities, but we are less familiar with his closest rival for the Republican nomination, Texas senator Ted Cruz.

Cruz touts his Irish roots even as he vows, like Trump, to deport thousands of Irish, and other illegal immigrants, from America if elected president.
