DES MOINES, Iowa -- Ted Cruz is rising in the polls. He has one of the stronger Republican organizations in the GOP presidential race. And he certainly has a path to win the Iowa caucuses, especially after a recent Quinnipiac poll found Cruz in a dead heat with Donald Trump here in the Hawkeye State.

Bob Wilson, 64, of Johnston, Iowa, who likes Cruz but is undecided on a candidate in the GOP race, doubts the Texas Republican's appeal among the general electorate.
"Will he be elected because he's a lightning rod?" Wilson asked rhetorically while shaking his head back and forth. "It's not because of his policies. I just don't think he has the personality to capture the national election."

See post 17, they mention you and don’t both pinging you.
David Dewhurst didn't think Cruz was electable to the Senate either, and we know how that turned out. LOL!
As long as you're open to changing your mind about electability as time goes on, you'll come around OK.
Beware when the media talks about “electable.” They questioned that about Reagan.
Well, if NBC is concerned about his electability, that really has me worried — Clearly, they only have the best interests of Republicans in mind. /s
