Hillary would much prefer to run against Ted Cruz over Trump.
She might win over Cruz unfortunately. She will NOT win over Trump.
There is some special sauce going on in this one. This isn’t about Cruz, this is about anyone but Trump. Clinton and her minions hands are all over this one. Which means the press will do everything for the short term to promote Cruz over Trump.
Podesta to donors: Cruz is likely GOP nominee

I have to agree. I think Cruz would have a narrow Electoral window whereby he can't lose any battleground states, whereas Trump would put more states in play.
Forcing Hillary to defend/attack 80%+ of the country instead of just the battleground states would put a lot of physical and mental strain on her. Looking old and feeble would be her downfall in the general election.
Iowa traditionally goes to a religious conservative.
Ted Cruz is that in spades. There is no besmirching him on his evangelicalism.
His weaknesses are The Corker Bill, The TPA, and the H1B visa.
Hillary will go after his Canadian birth, and he is fully qualified to be president, but his enemies will go after that. She went after Obama’s birth, so you know she’ll go after Cruz on this.
Trump should not. Cruz and Trump are the most winnable team in the election. Cruz brings the evangelicals and Trump brings the blue collar republicans.

True, neither of them will win.
