| The Hill surveyed Democratic lawmakers, former members and strategists, and found they are rooting for Ted Cruz to win the Republican presidential nomination.

Democrats think that Cruz, the junior Republican Senator from Texas, would alienate independent voters, get liberals to the polls, and give their party the best shot at picking up congressional seats. They think Bush would be a tougher opponent since he is a former governor from a political dynasty who can raise hundreds of millions of dollars and appeal more strongly to women and independent voters. | |||||||
