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.
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.
