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.

Florida 29
Michigan 16
Ohio 18
Nevada 6
Iowa 6
Maine (1)

No so assured, but in play:

New Mexico 5
Colorado 9
Wisconsin 10
New Hampshire 4

I am a Cruz supporter who accepts your premise that Trump puts many more states in play, including the ones you listed. I also believe Cruz would be the best presdient, knows how to run a tough, disciplined campaign. If he cannot beat HRC, then we are going down anyway, Trump or no Trump.

I agree.

Hillary is the prohibitive favorite so if we’re going to lose anyway, we might as well go down fighting.

Rest assured, neither Trump nor Cruz, unlike past GOP candidates, are going to gently into that good night.

We might as well give it the best shot we have and hope for the best while preparing for the worst.

Thanks for a cogent, if somewhat rose-colored, reply.

Why do you believe Cruz can win Florida, Michigan, and Ohio?
