Cruz and Rubio at about 95%, HOWEVER ...
I’ll take Trump (77%). Why -> because at this point I believe 90% of 77% is better than 65% of 95%.
In other words -> which will actually be more effective, not have their hands tied, transform the country is a crucial factor in ‘what they will actually accomplish.’
And, I’m among those who is willing to accept the possible mess that Trump could make. A disorganized mess is better than the knotted-mess right now that can’t be untied. I don’t see Cruz or any of the others as being capable of changing the course of this massive freighter. To me, it’s that Yatzee time when it’s your 3rd roll and you just throw all the crap back in the cup an roll it all, because, it can’t be worse.
Could Cruz really turn the ship, no matter how right he is about almost everything? He will still have congress to deal with, and the country’s establishment in general. Only Trump is virtually totally un-beholden to it. Maybe they’d both stare it down -> but in a real fight, would Cruz win?
As some have mentioned - I suspect Rubio’s campaign is weighted in his favor probably just because it’s not that scientific ... this is just comparing a bunch of numbers against some arbitrary excel spreadsheet subjectively assigned values and then loaded into a database.
It’d be much easier for Cruz to get things passed than Trump. Trump’s negatives are so high that it’d be much easier for the opposition to demonize him as being crazy or outrageous and laugh off his proposals.
Trump is also much more likely to cave into public pressure or polling, because his principles are not rock-solid and long-held, as he showed when letting a transsexual into his beauty pageant after initially saying it wouldn’t happen.
Cruz will rigidly stick to his principles and can more easily convince the public to get on board by addressing the public in a soft-spoken but firm manner, just as Ronald Reagan did.
I would say both of them would be equally likely to veto bad legislation coming from their own party.
