Many Democrats thought Jimmy Carter would wipe the floor with Reagan in 1980, too. Because Reagan was “way too conservative” or American voters. Remember?

Difference between Reagan and Cruz is that Americans liked Reagan on a personal level even if they didn’t agree with his politics. The same can’t be said for Cruz. He’s unlikable all across the political spectrum.

Hate to break it to you, but Cruz is NO Reagan.

Reagan was a statesman and held sincere views.

Cruz is nothing but an opportunist who thought that playing a conservative will get him elected president.

Trump is more Reagan-like, he wants to “make America great again’.

Ronald Reagan actually won most primary elections, Ted Cruz cannot.

Cruz is no Reagan.

Ronald Reagan had a substantial record of accomplishment as a twice elected Governor of California, contrasted with Cruz lying to the voters of Texas about his origins when they elected him to the U.S. Senate in 2012 (another 1st term Senator with not much to show for himself, hmmm remind us of anyone from back in 2008?), and Reagan appealed to Americans across the political spectrum as they got to know him on the campaign trail, contrasted with Cruz' hypocritical quasi-religious revival tent meetings, and Reagan was a proud son of Tampico Illinois, compared with Cruz' roots in Calgary, Alberta Canada, Reagan was all American, not a Cuban-Canadian transplant.

Remember?

Stop being delusional. Republicans don’t even like Cruz. Reagan is far different than Cruz. Stop with the idiotic comparisons.

Reagan was honest and likeable and not an arrogant, sniveling, bread faced mutant like Ted Cruz.

I remember very well. Do you remember why?

It was because Democrats who had become disillusioned with the Democrat Party crossed over to vote for Reagan. Ted has no such support, but Trump does. Those damn October surprises Democrats are famous for unleashing.

So your analogy is as weak as your favorite candidate is eligible as a natural born citizen, who held a Canadian citizenship up until 2 years ago. Oh I know 2 Democrat judges have ruled him eligible. That alone should give you cause for pause about Ted Cruz's eligibility.

It is that Cruz is simply much more easy to beat that is all.
