Cruz does score higher in certain categories than Trump. However, Trump does seem to be moving more towards the Right over the years.
But Trump is a communicator not unlike Reagan and like Reagan has the capacity to energize a wide voting base and I think Trump, not Cruz, will skewer Hillary.
A Trump nomination has a very good chance of a Trump presidency. With TRUMP/CRUZ we could be looking at sixteen years of recovery in America with Cruz finishing at least the foundational recovery work that Trump will have started (putting in place those bullet points he has that Trump doesn’t for instance).
A Cruz nomination, on the other hand, has a good chance of handing the presidency over to Hillary, and Trump would not accept the #2 job of VP because he’s always been in charge and he would go back to running his business which he prefers. So even if somehow Cruz overcame whatever are his shortcomings to beat Hillary, the recovery period would have a good chance of stopping after Cruz’s term.
As far as Mark Levine goes, he seems to hit hit the right notes most of the time, but the guy seems sour and unhappy - not a very good advertisement for whatever he’s selling.

Ted Cruz will beat Hillary with class.
