John Bruton: Who would win in a contest between Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton?

Donald Trump is likely to lose to Ted Cruz in the race to be Republican presidential nominee, writes John Bruton

TED CRUZ may soon take over from Donald Trump as the Republican frontrunner. Hillary Clinton is in a good position on the Democratic side, but there are worries about the ongoing FBI investigation into her emails.

The news that Texas senator Ted Cruz, is beating Donald Trump by 10% points in the latest polls in Iowa, increases the possibility that he will be the Republican presidential nominee. Iowa hosts the first contest of the primary season and Cruz may gain momentum from an early win there, as President Obama did eight years ago.
