Liberal P.O.S. propaganda website VOX prefers Cruz because he’s most likely to lose for the following reasons:
1. “He’s a much weaker general election candidate”
2. “Running on a nakedly extreme platform and with plenty of intraparty enemies who’ll guarantee a steady stream of bad press.”
3. Cruz is “vetted through the same conservative policy apparatus as everyone else”, that is not an outsider, but an establishment candidate.
4. “People who know him best don’t like him”
5. “nobody thinks he’s likely to win in November”
6. “He should also be the liberal choice for anyone tempted to cross over in an open primary, or just for liberals sitting at home wondering who to root for.”
7. “And compared with Donald Trump he doesn’t offer any outlier downsides”, which I THINK means Cruz is a known quantity and/or has zero cross-over appeal in the general.
So, looks to me like VOX has been reading Free Republic and has figured out, like many of the political analysts at FR, that between Trump and Cruz, Cruz is the least likely to win the general election.
Or maybe he’s playing head games.
