Ted Cruz is historically ignorant.
He spoke on the Senate floor about Neville Chamberlain (who was a Conservative, by the way) seeking to appease Hitler "in 1940."
In 1940 Great Britain was at war with Germany, and nobody but a tiny sliver of English fascists were saying anything about appeasing Hitler. Cruz was obviously thinking about the Munich conference, but that was two years earlier.
I know it may seem like a small point, but getting details like this wrong is to me an indication of a shallow mind. You don't get up on the floor of the United States Senate and compare your opponents to appeasers of Nazism without first getting your facts straight.
More generally, I often find that those most willing to draw analogies between some feature of contemporary American politics and German Nazism are the most ignorant of the actual history.
