I don't disagree that Cruz is probably the worst of the bunch. But Trump and Cruz would lose in a general election, so the actual policies of either of them aren't really that important. A general election with Trump would be an absolute circus that would probably have negative repurcussions for many election cycles. A general election with Cruz would be far more typical in tone and style, but would probably also serve to show the Tea Party just how unpopular their politics are with the rest of the country, and result in a defeat so overwhelming that it pushes the Republican Party back towards the center a bit.
