Republican establishment strategist Mike Murphy, who is close to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Mitt Romney and favors candidates like them, slammed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), saying he would be a disaster in a general election like George McGovern was for Democrats in 1972.
Murphy told National Review that though Cruz may win the nomination if he chooses to run because he appeals so strongly to conservatives, but he would not win a general election. In Murphy's eyes, conservatives that support Cruz are not "regular Republicans" like McCain and Romney, both of whom lost general elections.

During the 2012 election cycle, Murphy went out of his way to label conservative candidates who threatened Romney as the Republican versions of McGovern, doing so on programs like NBC's Meet The Press.

My daughter was there for a while (USAF) and loved it. Really wants to go beck.
With China there is nowhere they can’t get to so it doesn’t bother me. Who would stop them? Not America anymore. I figure at least Japan would fight back and COULD fight back.
Hey, Mike. McCain and Romney lost.
Therefore, my logical response is to do the exact opposite of what you advise. CruzToVictory!
What is this country coming to???
