He can’t even win NH in the primary.

Cruz is still reeling from that haymaker Trump threw back at him. He CANNOT win blue hell-holes who are looking for LEADERSHIP. So right now this is all spin and backtracking.

Cruz comes across as not very likable. I don’t see many coming from across the aisle to support him.

We already have one divider in chief, we don’t need another.

At least Trump seems to actually be getting some crossover support as one poll reported.

our rallies had two and three times the number of people that the Jeb Bush and Scott Walker rallies had,

So he had 30 or so people at his rallies?

He’s absolutely correct. And as Trumps VP he will win several blue states. Possibly including NY.

This was my take on the NY thing. Why would Cruz insult one part of the country to get the support of another. That's what Dems do, divide the people by race, gender, or location. That's what Obama does:

Referring to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses, the presidential hopeful said: "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

That kind of divisive rhetoric is no more justified against New York than the midwest.

Based on current polls, Cruz is behind in 50 states. Maybe he is talking about the other 7 states.

Cavuto asked him last night what effect losing Iowa would have on his campaign and dopey Ted said it wouldn’t impact his campaign at all. Bwahahahaha!! That’s all he’s got....Iowa. Delusional.

And Trump comes across as a pompous jerk boy. So I guess maybe we should just vote for the candidate who would if he were elected would provide the most liberty and the smallest Federal government.

The main reason I favor Trump instead of Cruz is because I doubt that Ted can do this. He just does not have the magnetism or charisma and show-biz personality that Reagan had that allowed him to win over people, even when they didn’t all agree with him. That was 1980. By 1984, he had won everyone over. If Cruz won the nomination, the general election would be iffy, and a squeaker, in my opinion. Trump brings the chance of a landslide.
