The field was 18 and Trump was supposed to win 48 states and have it sewn up by now. The field is 4 now and likely 3 soon, and Cruz is in range, winning 7. Trump has a ceiling of about fifty pct (purely my guess), and if it is a 2-man race soon, that is Cruz's best chance to win.
To add some perspective on the ‘unpopularity’ of Trump. Although Cruz supporters point to polls showing Trump losing to Hillary, it is worth noting that Trump has seen an all out assault on him (and him only) since he announced his candidacy. Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, and even Clinton have been completely left alone. That said, Trump is still winning. Take a look at Drudge today. Don’t you think, if Cruz were to be nominated, that the media would have Cruz quickly and easily defined as a walking, talking televangelist within a short amount of time? That’s not to mention the fact that he was born in freaking Canada! They would ‘crucify’ him and he’d be lucky to win more than a handful of states. Not one state that Romney lost would be in play for him!
Trump has weathered the onslaught and once he officially secures the nomination his numbers will rise and Hillary’s will fall. The end result IMO is that Trump will win rather easily in a general.
At some point, people have to wonder if Rubio and Kasich are not in it to hurt Cruz.
Just who said Trump would "have 48 states sewn up by now"?
I had heard that he would "flame out" long before now. You wouldn't just be pushing a pile of BS would you? Like, say... a teacher? Save it for the kidiots, teach.
