Pretty much how I see it. If I could just pick, it would be Cruz. I just don’t think he’ll win the general. Trump has the best chance for that imho. I pray to God Trump isn’t a plant as you said. I discount that because I don’t think that goes with his psychological makeup, but I could be wrong.
He’s been cozy with the Clintons, Bloombergs, and other ultra left wing crowd far too long for me to ever trust.
