“There are as many as 7 that would make great Presidents”

None of which stand a chance in the general election.

I like Cruz, but he can’t win the general.

Guess who can.

I tend to agree with you, and that is just my gut instinct.

Truer words were never spoken. The current polls suggesting Cruz can beat Hillary belie the fact that Cruz is unidentified. It is actually an anti-Hillary poll. Both Hillary and Trump are well known so the placement of Trump near or occasionally above is a very good place for a Republican at this point. Look, Stalin could get 45% of the vote running in the Democrat party

Would someone please have the guts to tell me in what ways Ted Cruz is too conservative?

Cruz isn't too conservative. He is a globalist running on a staunch religious platform. Fact is - should Cruz get the nomination - there would be mega-millions of dollars spent on ads in the first couple months attacking Cruz as a religious zealot: the war on women would be front and center... add in the starving widders 'n orphans ads to Cruz's Snidely Whiplash appearance and he is dead in the water... like really, really dead.

Reagan is to Cruz as lightening is to a lightening bug. Reagan was pleasant, fatherly and starred in so many movies he was well known and liked. Cruz is preachy and unpleasant, face it.

Trump is tough and coarse, but that is a man of this time when folks are fed up... add in that Trump is as well known as Reagan was, we might have a winner.

Not Trump. I would have to be drunk to vote for him myself. So if he is the nominee, I guess I will buy a quart of Jack Daniels. :)
