Cruz would be better. He would decimate the “constitutional scholar”.
He would run off the stage crying, but not before going into some narcissistic speech about how he won elections, he’s just doing what the people want, how he has created goodwill toward the USA all around the world, worked with the UN, come to peaceable agreements with Iran, helped immigrants to enjoy the opportunities in America, promoted income equality, paved the way for acceptance of LGBT in the military and public service, focused like a laser on global warming, etc., etc, ad nauseum.
