In which states does Cruz do better than Romney?

We already know Trump is doing just fine with blue collars

Don’t be such a goof, the same assumptions apply to Cruz.

I love these arguments.

Trump with between one and two million more votes than his competitors, is undetectable.

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha...

https://youtu.be/dN1IXDrXgV0 This video would destroy Teddy in a week after being made national. AND he when asked, he did not disavow this American Taliban Lunatic, friend of his.

Cruz would have to do the same, and there is not way in hades he could even come close. But the author is all wrong, as the difference is not 12 but rather 6 points, Since 6 more are going for Trump instead of Hillary it creates a 12 point difference. I'm willing to wager it will be even higher than that.

So no, thank you Ted for nothing. As usual.

From HotAir.com
Emerson poll: Hillary tops Trump by 17, Sanders beats Trump by 19 — in MARCH 18, 2016
BY ED MORRISSEY

Looking ahead to the general election, the two Democrats do equally well in a head-to-head matchup with Trump. Clinton (55% to 36%) and Sanders (53% to 36%) lead the reality show star by 19 and 17 points, respectively, while Cruz loses to Clinton by 31 points (61% to 30%).

The MoE on the full survey is a much more reasonable 3.5% on a sample of 768 likely general-election voters, so these numbers are a little more solid. The only bright spot for Trump in the general-election numbers is that Cruz does worse at 61/30, but that’s a cold comfort in a general election, where Electoral College votes are winner-take-all.

Just look at the numbers!

No.
Trumps negatives 65% are insurmountable.

Trump will Trumple Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, or whatever poser they put against him. Hillary will be submarined, that is why all the talk of a Republican fight on the convention floor to hide the truth of the one that is coming for Democrats.

Lots of Romney Obama examples here by Greg Sargent (WHO?). Is Trump running against Obama at anytime?

He's using Trump to play Romney...Who's playing the Obama part in his little stage act?

Actually probably should not do that because we will need the cruz supporters to go against Hillary. Hard not to I know some have been verrry ugly.

This is like a weekly thing now by the media, “Why Tump will never win” and then he gives a Reagan-esque speech like this one and he polls even higher.........

The guy is going to be POTUS, absolutely no doubt in my mind now whatsoever for the simple fact he speaks the truth.
