.
Talk radio host and author Hugh Hewitt is being interviewed by HuffPost Live about his book, The Queen, about Hillary:

6/17/15, "Radio's Hugh Hewitt: Ted Cruz Is The Republican Frontrunner For 2016," HuffPostLive

In the 2:12 clip (after an ad), the interviewer begins by bringing up Rand Paul. Following are approximate quotes:

At about :40, Hewitt says he advises Hillary in his book that if Ted Cruz is the nominee, don't debate him, simply reject debates, he'll kill you.

At :53, Hewitt says right now as I see it...Ted Cruz is the frontrunner.

(The HuffPo interviewer is stunned to hear this).

Hewitt continues, Cruz is better prepared to run the board of all the candidates.  
.................
(The interviewer again questions the notion).

Hewitt continues, Cruz has the deepest level of social media engagement.
