The backstabber and whoring, cowardly saboteur
DELUSIONAL Cruz will ruin any ticket of which he is a part.
The idea is not absurd considering that George Soros is in charge of counting the November votes in 11 states including New York and Florida and Hussein is naturalizing new voting citizen Democrats by the stadiumful just as Clinton did in 96, not to mention the ease and prospective ubiquity of hackers controlling the vote registry in voting machines all over. And no, we cannot balance the Democrat hackers with our own because almost all computer nerds are Democrats.
Nothing like not planning to have a shot at actually winning to ensure the really bad guys don't get to the WH....Just sayin'...
Are you sure about that?

We can kindly disagree. To me, electability is the first criteria I look at in a candidate. It matters not what positions a candidate takes, if that candidate cannot be elected.
Trump’s electability numbers, Cruz’s electability numbers are the reason I’ve not chosen a candidate. I’ll support either but neither has shown me a reason to believe they can win.
You absolutely cannot count on Trumpto pull in Cruz voters, Between Trump’s nasty personality and flips in ideology, with more to come, Conservatives will once again stay home.
The dislike for Trump is visceral now. Stomachs churn just looking at him. People like me, who were once willing to vote for him will now sit home because we would be so moralized.
It doesn’t matter. 525, 000 is a pathetic showing in a state like New York. Trump wasn’t even competitive and he would not come close to winning Texas where people hate him.
Are you really this STUPID?, or are you just pretending to be that stupid? Or are you just a flamer? Or are you sleeping with Ted Cruz?
NY was a Primary. It was a CLOSED Republican primary, only REGISTERED Republicans could vote. Democrats outnumber Republicans in NY by 2 to 1.
Trump cannot carry New York. Perio. That is all there is. Hilary is going to carry New York by a huge margin.
I would agree that it would be virtually impossible for any other Republican to carry New York. But Trump has a very considerable advantage over other Republicans there, because of his unique position in New York; because of his celebrity status; because he is one of them--really one of them, not a corporate manager moved there--and talks to them like someone they know personally.
Hillary on the other hand is a transplant. That does not hurt her in Manhattan-home to the Corporate transplants, etc.; but she will not do as well against Trump in the other boroughs; while she will be taken down, big time, up State.
No Reagan Democrats will be voting for Trump. Trump has destroyed any feeling of common ground with anyone but his core supporters and the Libertarians. Trump comes across as hating anyone who doesn’t support him and his supporters try to double down on the hate, instead of trying to draw people in. Hatred and bully tactics are not exactly the proven method of win friends and influence people.
Duly noted.
the Republicans will vote for Trump when push comes to shove
Just like they did with John McCain and Mitt Romney, right?
You can remain in denial all you want to about Trump's sky high disapproval rating - a rate even higher than Hillary. Just don't blame Cruz when reckoning day arrives.
There aren’t enough Independents in the State of New York to out weigh the votes that Hillary and Sanders won in the election. Sanders won 200,000 more votes than Trump and Trump has just made himself unlikable. Sure, he will win a percentage of the Independents and Sanders voters but not close enough to make a difference.
Now, Trump is moving to the center, abandoning the voters who got him this far. No Trump cannot win anything for real, not in the National election. By November, Trump will have only succeeded in destroying the Republican Party. ...but that seems to be the goal of Trump’s Libertarian backers.
I wouldn’t characterize this as disagreeing. I stated my preference, and at the same time acknowledged what turns out to be yours. I like BK Whoppers because I like tomatoes on my burger. You like McD’s Big Macs because you hate tomatoes on your burger. It is a matter of preference.
Let me guess. You're a Trump supporter, right?
Democrats outnumber Republicans in NY by 2 to 1.
Yet we are to believe the BS from Trump supporters that Trump will win New York in November?
You do not understand. Most New York Democrats are that simply because of ethnic identification with the Democratic Party. At the grass roots level—outside Manhattan—it is not nearly as ideological as you imagine. Trump already has the emotional support of many who just voted for Hillary or Sanders in the Democratic Primary. Besides, how will Hillary answer this tactic, which explains the actual nuts & bolts of the things that she also complains about, without clear understanding:

As for accusing Trump of being a "bully?" He like Reagan is truly the bully thrasher. The vitriolic attacks are always directed at those who try to sucker punch him. Treat him like a gentleman, as Cruz did in 2015, he treats you as a gentleman, back. Tag team him in an insulting manner, as Cruz & Rubio did earlier this year; and you quickly learn he punches back.
Keep Cruz far away from VP pick for Trump.
Cruz is more toxic than the Fukashima Reactor.
Politics is not as ideologically driven as you imagine. That large Democratic edge in registrations is largely driven by family & ethnic—not ideological—identifications. It has always been thus.
