Cruz is none of the above.
Same criteria that apply to Trump also apply to Cruz.
But he isn’t pulling in the kind of voters a GOP candidate must attract to win the White House.
His conservatism limits his appeal to swing demographics.
Which is why the GOP establishment wants someone more electable.
Ironically enough, its why they can’t see that Trump is expanding the GOP in a way where its other candidates have fallen short.
In a word, the GOP establishment’s irrational hatred of Trump is blinding it to the fact he’s not a movement conservative, considering its unwilling to go to the mat and fight for conservative principles.
If electability is the only criterion that matters as opposed to principle, it should be lining up behind Trump.
OK, I’m going to try this again.
No, I’m not a troll, a Christian hater, a Satanist, a “liberal”, or any of the other names I usually get called when I ask this question. I’ve been here since May 1998 and I’ve never been banned.
Please tell me the names of states adding up to 63 electoral votes that Romney lost that you feel confident Cruz will win if he is the nominee.
To be fair, I will tell you that Trump, if he is the nominee, will win NY, MA, NJ, CT, and possibly PA, which will make a victory for HRC impossible.
I think Ted Cruz is a fine man, very smart, devoted to the constitution and an excellent debater. He belongs on the Supreme Court.
But I’m voting for Trump because Cruz is unelectable, and nobody here has yet even tried to show me I’m wrong.
