Cruz will not beat Hillary or Sanders. He’s not liked well enough to get any independent or crossover votes. Crossover votes are needed, you need to remember that way over 50% of the voting public is dependent on the government in one way or another. They will vote their pocketbook. There are not enough pure “principled” conservatives votes to win the election for the republicans if Cruz is the nominee.
We shall see. But if what you say is true, the country is lost. I am deliberately holding off on this conclusion pending the outcome of the upcoming election.
Having said that, let’s not forget, that Ted Cruz’s strategy is to revive the Reagan Coalituon: reenergize the evangelical vote, secure a big chunk of the liberty vote, appeal to the Reagan Democrats, national security conservatives, etc... thus bypassing the need to move to the mushy middle.
The Cruz campaign says the data shows those voters are out there in sufficient numbers to pull off a win, thus affording our nation one last chance to pull ourselves from the socialist abyss threatening to swallow the American exception for good.
Hillary is liked?
That’s absolute conjecture. Did you happen to stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night?
It's funny you would even bring up being liked when Donald Trump has the highest unlikables of any candidate ever.
