Trump will likely lose Wisconsin. In a state where the dominant Republican figures are Paul Ryan and Scott Walker, lots of voters will follow the endorsements and vote for the establishment endorsed candidate - Ted Cruz. Will Cruz carry Wisconsin in the general election? Not much of a chance. Congratulations Ted!
Although I will support Cruz if he wins the nomination, I have a question for the more vocal Cruz supporters: What state lost by Romney will Cruz carry in the general? I can’t identify any - perhaps you can provide the remedy for my ignorance. If conservative evangelicals insist on nominating a candidate who has almost no ability to win the general, do you bear any moral responsiblitiy when Hillary turns out to be Obama on steroids?
States Cruz can won that Romney lost: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia, Ohio, among others. I say this because Hillary has such high negatives, which will cause many dems to stay home. The only thing that will bring them to the polls to vote for Hillary is if Trump is our nominee.
Yes, I understand that Trump wold get some blue dog dem votes and even some first time voters, but I think he alienates more voters than he brings.
Actually of the 16 or 17 republican candidates that we stayed with, Trump is the only one that hillary could beat. She’s just that toxic. That’s why I believe that Cruz or any republican other than Trump can win the states listed above. I could be wrong, but that’s my opinion. This is not being derogatory toward Trump, just stating the general election as I see it.
