First, Cruz could destroy Trump head-to-head. Right now, the not-Trump vote is being split 3 ways, obscuring the fact that Trump is only getting 32% of the popular vote, and even worse if you consider that Trump is sucking wind in the caucuses which don’t impact the popular vote much.
Second, Trump is pretending to be a conservative. Hillary and Bernie can’t. Every mainstream-media “attack” on Trump attacks him for stating conservative opinions, not liberal ones.
Also: Cruz does far better than the polls say he will in every contest: an average of 12% better. Trump is doing far worse. Yet Cruz beats Hillary in polls, while, contrary to Trump’s absurd lies during the debates, Trump gets his ass handed to him in nearly every poll conducted against Hillary.
Cruz wins in most contests vs. Clinton.

“Cruz could destroy Trump head-to-head. Right now, the not-Trump vote is being split 3 ways”
The Not Cruz vote is even bigger than the Not Trump vote. It’s also being split three ways.
So where’s that leave us?
The little trumpers absolutely despise me and don’t have a problem with telling me so.
They think I only diss Trump because I’m for Cruz, or a Cruzbot as they so kindly refer to me.
The fact is that, although Cruz is obviously the better candidate in ways too numerous to mention here, that is not my main goal.
My main goal is keeping the presidency from Hillary Clinton or the socialist if it goes that way.
Trumpers here refuse to believe or acknowledge the truth.
Trump cannot win the general.
If you succeed in pushing your guy over the finish line, you are dooming America.
I said two months ago that Trump would offer the veep to Rubio.
I believe that is true right now and may be the reason Rubio is willing to humiliate himself by staying in and not giving Cruz a fair shot.
