Cruz is my guy.
My main concern is he does not seem to be doing well in one on one match-up against Hillary in the RCP average polls.

Strangely, it is Ben Carson who does the best against Hillary.
Non-Republicans see Carson as a benign, grandfatherly figure.
Their impression of Ted is what the media has portrayed him as for years.
That will change as people hear Ted firsthand.
