I cannot imagine Cruz doing that much better with women. If 54,000,000 single women vote this time round, what's in it for them? His "good looks"? No, it's a creep. Preservation of abortion rights? No. You think he really understands the plight of the working mom? After all, HIS wife was a Goldman Sachs honcho. Lot in common with the gal with two jobs juggling daycare. And putting "eye candy" Rubio in the second slot won't change that much, you still have to listen to swarmy Ted every time he opens his lyin' mouth.
70% of women may never vote for Trump but 60% won't vote for Cruz. In fact, he's the least attractive man to run for the office since LBJ, who looks like he could have been his grandfather.
Trump could improve the ratings, he has a personality, Cruz has zero and is plastic lawyer man. No more lawyers.
