This isn’t an either/or situation.
It is a both/and.
We want someone who is both well-spoken and actually deals with issues. IOW, someone who isn’t a RINO but can actually speak well - and minus using words like a baseball bat.
Cruz combines the best of both, which Trump does not.
Unfortunately Cruz is sitting/hovering around 5%.
And that's not going to get it done.
He's not even in the top tier in Iowa or NH.
