the average voter doesn’t know who Cruz is.... if he gains any traction the media will begin to destroy him...... he would get fewer votes than Romney by far

Thank you! I probably align most closely with Cruz, but he's still a blank canvas to most voters. Once the Dems & the MSM (but I repeat myself) get through with creating and disseminating their narrative, Ted will be as unpopular as Charles Manson. For the most part, they'll be total fabrications, but that won't matter once it's time for these folks to cast their ballots. The negative 1st impression will have been ingrained in them.

Trump is not perfect, but he's a known commodity to most Americans. Shrillary, or whomever the Dems nominate, will not be as successful running a negative campaign again The Donald.

I actually wish there was a viable 3rd option - the Conservative bonafides of a Cruz, with the media savvy (& teflon) of a Trump - but that's a pipe dream with the current crop of candidates.
