No. I would rather the GOP nominate someone that won't destroy the world if god forbid they should win. We'd probably have an easier time defeating Cruz. They are both lousy political minds, but Trump doesn't have to talk policy, he just has to insult politics. He just has to be Trump. Cruz can't fall back on Trump's gimmick, so against Hillary or Sanders he'll get creamed.
