I have posted ad nauseam to Cruz supporters that Ted Cruz is too conservative for the average GOP voter. The average GOP voter is middle of the road or slightly right of center. Much more into Trump territory. This is why in many national polls Cruz is still at 7%-8.5%.
Same goes for independents. Cruz is iffy in a general election. Trump is much more likely to win and win big in the general election.
Try 14% Fox News, 14% PPP and 18% NBC
Yeah he’s too conservative. We need to nominate someone electable like Romney...
