... have shown us all Cruz is a genuinely bad candidate.

So let's acknowledge this, which I think CEW would as well. It was just not a part of this article. And I also think that the "bad" is the candidate (the person), not his positions or policies. Cruz is not naturally smooth, genuine or personable. He is made for the courtroom rather than the public square, especially in this 21st century of social media and the idolization of celebrity.

But ... can we also acknowledge the point of the article? Donald Trump will not win NY against a Democrat. That is as obvious as the fact that 1.75 million > 0.5 million.

Agreed. I'm all in for most of his stated policies. Add a few Trump emphases with Rubio's natural telegenics and it would be even better. We'd win in a landslide of Biblical flood proportions.

I hope CEW finally does understand that issue, I remember long ago when I pointed out his "likability" problem, he didn't see it. That was at least a month, maybe two, before I switched to preferring Trump.

One other thing: I do think it's likely Trump will put NY enough into play that they (whoever is the dem nominee) will have to spend money there to defend it.

No other candidate would force that. I'm not saying he could win, that's not it, just that he would force them to spend beaucoups de buckos for the first time since Reagan.

I kind of like that.
