Cruz is a very acceptable, traditional choice for President, on the conservative side of things. He is indeed a completely acceptable traditional GOP candidate for the presidency. State of the Art, 1982. And he will likely suffer a very traditional general election loss. I think he's a 200 electoral vote guy, maybe some more if the wind is at his back. America in 2016 will probably not elect Ted Cruz.

But America has certainly never elected a President like Trump. He would experience a very untraditional general election loss.

One of the Ted Cruz Facebook groups took a poll and Carly Fiorina was the far-and-away winner on who his V.P. pick should be. Fiorina would soften up Cruz’s edges just enough and help him attack Hillary without being spun as an old boys network sexist Republican white guy who hates women. I like the chances for Cruz/Fiorina over Trump and any imaginable V.P. pick for him.
