Cruz would've been a GWB type of president, except smarmy instead of faux-folksy. GWB was a terrible president primarily because he surrounded himself with aggressive and small minded powermongers. But Trump is something much worse, much more sinister, and much more destructive to the tenets of democracy.
So as weird as it is to say, president Cruz would've been..."better." Because a dumpster fire is better than a house fire.
I've seen many many people on Twitter say Bush is worse because he got thousands of people killed for no reason, which I think you can't really argue with. On the other hand, Trump has made things worse in the US and I think clearly has potential to do much worse abroad.
It doesn't really need to be framed as a contest, but I think it's interesting to consider.
