Ted Cruz cannot even get 25% of the republican vote much less get the independent voters or bleed off any Dems. He has no chance to win a general election. Trump will win in a landslide.
Trump will be destroyed in the general. His negatives are higher than any other candidate for a reason. Cruz is the most lied candidate in the field. The only reason that Cruz is not beating Trump is that Trump’s 30% is higher than the rest of the GOP field which is split between 5 other candidates. One on one, Cruz waxes Trump.
Trumps 30 to 40% are not going to win a general election. Say hello, President Sanders.
