Trump has a chance of taking NY, NJ and PA. I don’t think Cruz would have any chance taking these states.
that’s not reflected in the polls really.
trump/cruz dont do much different against hillary naionwide.
so that would mean cruz is getting a lot more votes in some state or another if trump is taking those three.
i have a bad feeling about one group of supporters turning out for the other guy if theirs’ loses.
that would be very bad.
it has been a contentious few weeks. hopefully that will resolve
people keep saying ny, nj and pa based on what their neighbors are thinking, etc
but some polls in these states would be great. i cant seem to find any
Ergo, Trump will not win NY, NJ or PA.
This is one of those bizarro trumpisms I keep seeing on this forum. The trumpeteers just keep repeating this sacred mantra as if it's true, when there is not one single shred of evidence for this anywhere on the planet.
Trump will not win NY or NJ in a million years. I live in NJ and work in NYC - the groudswell for Trump around here is a pothole. It's no different for Cruz, Rubio, or Jeb - but only trumbies ever express the delusion that their guy might.
Cruz might carry 5 states.
The headline is absolutely spot on. I love Cruz desperately; I’ve traveled hundreds of miles to hear him speak. He is ideal on hewing close to the Biblical line, and he is pluperfect on the Constitution in its original intent. No one else comes close.
However, for the same reason I could never get elected President, so it is with Cruz.
This nation presently marginalizes Christians; but it ultra-marginalizes Christians who take the Bible literally, who insist that Jesus is the only way to Heaven, that unless a person is born-again, that person will go to hell. Cruz, like so many of us, is on record, on tape, on CD, on the internet, having said that only born-again Christians go to heaven, that others go to hell. There would be no other issue throughout the campaign if he got elected.
Cruz could never be confirmed to the Supreme Court, nor to a cabinet post. Texas is possibly the only state that would elect him to the Senate. Again, the reason is that Christians are so thoroughly marginalized, particularly the kind of Christian that he is, as I am. By various measures, hard-core evangelicals, such as Cruz is, make up 33% of the population. Of those, only 9% believe in the Creation, the Flood, the Virgin birth, etc.
More and more, our kind of Christianity is despised in America. Trump’s kind of Christianity is tolerated fairly well, and yes, it is nominal. I do not support Trump because he agrees with my theology; I support him because he promises to build a wall, which is the only way we can get this country back. And I support him because I believe he is electable. Unfortunately, Cruz probably is not. This does not diminish my love and respect for him.
