Related: About this forumI would rather go up against Cruz Aka TED – Then Trump!
Alias Ted whos name really is Rafael Edward Cruz He has made up a American name to fool all the dumb asses in Texans voting for a Cuban, Canadian and now they are stuck with him and want him to go away. He cost the country $32 Billion in the last shut down, he is well hated across the country and in Washington!
The Costs of the Government Shutdown
The financial ratings agency Standard & Poor's said Wednesday the shutdown "to date has taken $24 billion out of the economy," equaling $1.5 billion dollars a day and "shaved at least 0.6 percent off annualized fourth-quarter 2013 GDP growth."

I really think regular people and right wing republicans will vote for Trump rather than Cruz, A vote for Cruz brings us closer to Winning it ALL!.... Go Hillary.

If you haven't seen the movie, I highly suggest watching it.

I've been pulling for Ted all along. The most hated politician in America would be far easier to beat than the most bull shitting politician in America. Bernie or Hillary would beat em both, but Ted would look so good making his concession speech after he's had his ass handed to him.

A Trump presidency is horrible to contemplate, but I find Cruz even scarier.
As far as who is more beatable, I don't know how much I trust head-to-head polls at this point, but it's a mixed bag.
Cruz does worse than Trump against Sanders
Cruz does better than Trump against Hillary (in fact, Cruz beats Hillary)
Based on averages reported in realclearpolitics.com
Trump v. Clinton = Clinton win by 3.4
Trump v. Sanders = Sanders win by 8
Cruz v. Clinton = Cruz win by 1.5
Cruz v. Sanders = Sanders win by 9.7
