This should be a teachable moment, but as usual it will not. On the one hand Cruz has supposedly has 'room to grow' because he is not well known, but on the other hand he is favored by most Republicans and can beat Hillary in a national election

Can folks - especially the hardcore Cruz supporters - see the impossibility of all that being equally true.

LOL. Do the math. It's a teachable moment for a hardcore Trump supporter, you.

"Do the math.

I would ask you to do the math, but that would be a waste of time because you cannot comprehend what the chart already tells you.

First of all the chart is for Republicans/leaning Independents. Even in that category Cruz has only a 77% familiarity. In no way can you project a national election when you are not well known, period. And, of course, you are going to have a low unfavorable rating being a social conservative - but even those folks do not claim they will vote for him or he would be leading the party in the national Gallup poll: meaning, we like the guy but he is not our choice.
