This makes no sense. Cruz did well in a liberal state, NH. Cruz won in a purple state, IA. When you put Cruz up against the communist Sanders, or the gangster clinton, he will be recognized for the principled, strong leader he is.
If Trump is the nominee the opposite will occur. He will be shown to be unprincipled, a crony capitalist, low character, bully. It could very well swing an election to someone like hillary.
12% is not “doing well”. This notion that every place is important in NH except 1st is only being pushed by the media because 1st was Trump and not a Bush, Rubio, Christie or anyone else
No way on earth that Cruz can win a general election ... Cruz cannot even beat Sanders ... if you think the MSM went after Palin hard , guess what they would do to Cruz
