Please be specific. You start with 206 (if that). What states, with EV totals, would Cruz win if he ran against Hillary?
Please don't cite national polls, don't talk about Trump, don't talk about Cruz attributes and policies. Please stick to the question asked.
Texas?
Good luck with the Cruz crowd here. Well, the few that are left anyway..
Texas only counts once, sorry. Already in the red column.

That’s a tricky question:
If Cruz is running as VP with Kasich, they won’t even win the Romney states.
If Cruz is running as VP with Trump, we have no idea what states they will win. That will depend on how candidate Trump evolves as he moves into the general election and how aggressively he campaigns.
If Cruz is running as VP for Ronald Reagan (yes, I know Reagan is dead, but it could happen), then they could do quite well.
If Cruz is running as VP for Superman or Batman, then they could sweep everything except DC and Massachusetts (the whole “truth, justice, and the American way” thing doesn’t go over well there).
If Cruz is running at the top of the ticket, well, I don’t answer hypothetical questions that are that unrealistic.
You are essentially asking Muslims not to commit taqqiya. Stop hitting yourself.
Yes, that why I have a link to it in the OP.
Well lets start, He will win CO in a general, probably NC but I think that one would be iffy. Cruz will win TX, I think he can squeak a win out in Fl in a general matchup against Hillary, adding all of that together it leaves Cruz with ten combinations of which give him the victory.
The Cruzloyalists, like their new partners in the GOPe and the Cheap Labor Express, don’t care if they win, it is simply to block the citizens from stopping the illegal alien inundation.
Manitoba, New Brunswick and Kolob /s
Always like a good challenge!
Cruz-Kasich will win Ohio (+18), Iowa (+6), Wisconsin (+10), Colorado (+9), Maine (+4), Florida (+29), and Pennsylvania (+20)...
Total of 302 electoral votes!
NC was already won by Romney in 2012, as was TX.
You have 206. You need 64 more. You add FL, but Cruz got killed by Trump in FL. Does Cruz have any real popularity there, besides possibly in the Cuban community?
Good one...Prime Minister Cruz!
I will vote for Cruz if he is the nominee.
But, in my opinion, he is unelectable.
I think Trump is also unelectable.
But, since Trump is not a Conservative, and since Trump’s political principles change every year or two, what difference would it make if Trump does win?
If Trump is the nominee, I will vote for him, but only because I have been a loyal Republican for the last 60 years.
If you start with the states Romney won then the only way any Republican wins is if they take Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida. All three. Lose any of them and Hillary wins and that’s true regardless of whether it’s Cruz or Trump. All this talk about one candidate or the other flipping New York or Michigan or Wisconsin is wishful thinking.
The only candidate who’s has any potential to change the map is Trump... has been that way since day one.
The establishment fear is he’ll either lose states that are traditionally republican or even worse win states that aren’t traditionally republican. IF its the prior, no big deal they lose an election and stay in power, if its the latter, they lose their power.
So, which do you think it is that they really fear? Considering they are fighting against him harder than they ever fought against Obama or Hillary combined?
Why would the Florida Cuban voters vote for the son of a Cuban communist revolutionary?
Nice
“Cruz-Kasich will win Ohio (+18), Iowa (+6), Wisconsin (+10), Colorado (+9), Maine (+4), Florida (+29), and Pennsylvania (+20)...

Good answer. Not sure I agree with it, but good answer.
I doubt PA, but in your scenario, it’s not needed.
Cruz-Kasich would probably win OH, I agree. If they could win FL as well, that would be 253, and you would only need 17 more.
Plausible. Plausible.
