Texas?
Good luck with the Cruz crowd here. Well, the few that are left anyway..

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.
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.

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!
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.
I have a few more questions that we need the answers for:
Do you think that Cruz can reach HALF the delegates needed to get to the nomination?
Or more appropriately, half of the delegates that Trump gets?
If he gets so lucky.. Where will he get an increase of at least 100% of delegates in Cleveland?
Do you honestly believe this can be done and him still be viable in a National election?
*keep in mind that nearly 80% of Primary voters Nationally overwhelmingly reject Lying Ted.
It doesn’t matter. His ground game will backhand, bribe and elbow its way through the electoral college voters.
Romney states + Florida + Iowa + Wisconsin + Ohio = 269 EVs (a tie, throwing the election to the House of Representatives, where we win)
Florida is an absolute must win state for any Republican. Romney came very close.
The other three are winnable midwestern states. We have been improving in those states in terms of Gov., Sen., Congr. and state legislature. These states argue for Kasich or Walker to balance the GOP ticket. Perhaps Joni Ernst if you’re looking for a female candidate. A midwestern running mate isn’t a guarantee. Ryan didn’t enable Romney to win the midwest in 2012.
As for Trump, I would give the exact same answer. In spite of being from New York and being a social moderate, he has zero chance of carrying that state or other such states in the absence of a landslide victory.
NOTICE: An expanded map would include Pennsylvania, Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, New Hampshire, Maine-2 and converting Michigan to district method.
The Press to hurt Trump have given Cruz a pass, once the protection is lifted, people will see Cruz for the despicable, sleazeball, lunatic fringe religious nut, he is. He might win Texas, might.
How many electoral votes, does anyone know?
I think the better question to ask is which states that Romney won that Cruz would lose.
Canada and Cuba?
Oh, states..... my mistake.
The more relevant question is....
Which states do you thing Trump will lose that Romney won?
The reality is Trump put much more of the map into play than Cruz or Kasich or them both combined ever will.
Yes, Cruz might win a southern state in a general election by a wider margin that Trump might, but Trump isn’t going to lose any of those states... but he will put into play states Cruz or Kasich have no shot at, and will win a few of them as well. Cruz will lose a lot of states that Trump will put into play.
The GOP has the first candidate in nearly 3 decades that demonstrable evidence shows is expanding the party, and they are determined to destroy him.. makes absolutely no sense.
This has been asked many times during the primaries.
The answers range from (no replies) to MAYBE Ohio.
