Both would have at least some sense of self respect and ability to empathize with others. Not a lot, but when compared to Trump almost anyone would possess those two qualities more than he does.
I doubt it
Legislatively, they would be more willing to work with Congress. Both would have more sensible responses to the pandemic that quite probably would result in less lives being lost. Make no mistake, a portion of the lives lost thus far are directly the result of Trump's mismanagement.
Cruz willing to work with congress??? He was responsible for a government shutdown. I doubt Cruz and Rubio would've turned out to be better on handling COVID-19. I also think you exaggerate Trump's mismanagement
It's unlikely neither would inspire a literal cult of hatred and racism, nor would either openly incite violence and even encourage death to detractors as Trump has done.
That's true, especially for Rubio.
The massive corruption seen during Trump's tenure is large, rare at such levels, and almost unheard of, so it's unlikely neither Cruz nor Rubio's potential corruptions as president would have risen so high.
True, but corruption was always present. Obama pardonned Wall Street bankers after the crisis. Harris pardonned Mnuchin, so she isn't better. But corruption levels are high. They don't hide it. I'm a nihilist and believe almost every government is corrupt. There are few people i can trust like Sanders and Ojeda
Neither would seek out illegal aid from foreign countries to meddle in our elections. Neither would have been impeached for such a treacherous act.
If you're talking about Russia, that's proven to be fake.
Ukraine is true, but it showed that Biden has his own issues / scandals. It did backfire however on the Trump administration.
Trump has been bad, no doubt about it, but a competent Rubio / Cruz would have caused more damage. What annoys me about Trump is that his message is so hateful that it will have a long term impact on the population.
