Almost anything would beat this dog and pony show we have had to put up with for seven years. Anything that is out from under the puppet strings of Washington politics (and especially Democrat, though GOP is learning how to stink too, never fear).
I prefer someone who can take on Washington and has experience in doing so....familiar with the landmines and knows who hides behind closed doors....and dares to expose them for what they are with facts to support it, which Cruz has been at it since he got there....
