Hillary plays by her own rules and "debates" with her own rules as well. She has history "debating" a younger, very good GOP debater, and beating him not just handily, but destroying him utterly, with one short sentence.
Cruz is NOT a good debater, he is incapable of thinking on his feet, during a debate, his style is that of a Freshman high school debater combined with lawyerly weasel words and stances. He has NO idea what Hillary's "buttons" are, how to beat her, and as far as his supposed plans are, he doesn't understand them, they aren't his at all, but purloined and made worse, by others!
Cruz is probably THE worst candidate, one could pick, to go up against Hillary or Bernie, is a debate/the general election!
I don't believe that you were EVER for Trump! You, very obviously, don't know a single FACT about him, what he stands for, his "philosophy" how business works, nor that he is the ONLY one who can shut Hillary or Bernie down in a debated and in the general.
You need to do a massive amount of study, to educate yourself, prior to posting again.
I am not sure Cruz is the worse candidate that could face Hillary. There are candidates that would do just as poorly:
Jeb Bush, Robert Dole, John McCain, and everyone’s favorite,
Mitt.
