If Hillary or Bernie had to face-off against Cruz, I think it would be a close race. Cruz talks like a nut job, but I think deep down he's cool and calculating. He's also a great speaker, despite the fact that he speaks mostly garbage.
Paul Ryan on the other hand is probably the smartest of the entire bunch on the republican side. I think that Ryan is the GOP's best hope of winning the whitehouse, or at the very least, saving the republican party.

Ryan may well be a better candidate than Cruz or Trump. The problem is if they screw Trump and Cruz and make him the nomination Trump will likely run as a third party candidate. That will cause a split in the republican vote and likely make it pretty easy for the democrat. If they could somehow keep Trump from running as a third party candidate it will help them to some degree, but it seems like about 35% of registered republicans are die hard Trump supporters. Who knows how they will react if he gets screwed out of the nomination. Without their support no republican candidate can win. |
