Most polls I ve seen show him doing better than Trump against Hillary, including the 12/22 Quinipiac Poll.
I wasn't basing my statement on polls, but rather my own instincts. Cruz's appeal seems to be much narrower in terms of demographics.
I hope I'm wrong, of course, because I'd like nothing more than to see Cruz destroy Hillary in any and all debates.
If you're prepared to believe that, you have to ask yourself if these pollsters really have their finger on the pulse of those who will stay home if it's Trump, but not if it's Cruz.
I just don't believe such insights are credible, particularly when the chief functional disparity between Trump and Cruz is regard for Constitutional principles, something that pretty much concerns only us.
