What actually scares the NY Times is Hillary Clinton squaring off with Ted Cruz!
The NY Times would actually love a Hillary/Rubio election. No conservative in sight!
yes, Ted Cruz would be awesome in a one on one debate with Hillary. But first, he has to win the nomination. And second, he has must come across as more likable than his opponent in debates. Recall how GWB came across as more likable than the deep sighing Al Gore in debates.
From purely a “entertaining” debate perspective, I would pay to watch Hillary-Christy debate, more than any other combination.
