A very long vanity when you could have just said “Vote Trump”.
And no, I think Cruz would win on the 2nd or 3rd ballot. Preventing Trump from winning the requisite delegates is mission number one because Donald would lose in an epic landslide to Hillary - and probably take the Senate and perhaps even the House down with him.
TLDR: Vote Cruz
Do you think Cruz's loss would be less epic, or do you actually think he would win? He can't even win GOP primaries for the most part. How is he going to win the more moderate independents that are needed to beat Hillary. Do you think he appeals to people in places like Michigan and Pennsylvania? We haven't seen much sign of that.
I think he loses bigger than Trump would, tough obviously it's an untestable hypothosis.
