“The point is, if he can not be supported by republicans in congress, how can we expect him to win many centrist democrat votes like Reagan did? Those votes are essential for victory in general election.”
You missed the point of my post. The American population’s confidence level in the congressional branch is at an all time low of 5%. The GOP’s attacks on Cruz, and others, are precisely why the people have no confidence in them.
You say that the GOP failing to support him means that he is divisive. I say the GOP failint to support him means that he is more apt to win over the electorate!
We now have a governing class that is in direct opposition to the governed. We need a candidate that aligns with the poeple, not with DC.
If Cruz wins the nomination, I for one will celebrate. My only desire is we nominate someone who can win in general. Coming primaries and debates will throw a lot of light on who is the best candidate.
