New York?
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.
We already have one divider in chief, we don’t need another.
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.
He can win them as Trump’s VP.
Based on current polls, Cruz is behind in 50 states. Maybe he is talking about the other 7 states.
Really???
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.
After that NEW YORK VALUES comment Ted is going to have a hard time winning blue states in the primary...
I’m not sure he could win his home state.
Here is the deal. No Republican, and certainly no evangelical, can ever win the Presidency from now on. Demographics has determined this to be true. There are now millions of more illegals (Latinos and muslims) voting in this election, and they will guarantee victory to the Democrats. Ted Cruze cannot will the election for President. Let me say this again unless you missed it: Ted Cruz cannot be elected President. He has zero appeal to anyone but Republicans. On the other hand, Donald Trump (who is neither Republican nor Democrat) had tremendous cross party appeal. If you Republicans are smart (we’ll see about that), you will rally around Trump and get out the vote come this November. Otherwise, it will be Democrat Presidents forever.
200,000 Puerto Ricans have moved to Florida in the last 5 years because of the economic chaos in Puerto Rico.
If the Democrats can get them registered in time, 80% of them will vote for the Democrat nominee.
Romney won Florida by just 65,000 votes in 2012.
McCain lost Florida by 240,000 votes in 2008.
And, please remember that Romney won Texas with a higher percentage than Cruz won his Senate seat in 2012.
Please note I'm saying percentage - not the number of votes.
Cruz: I can win some blue states in the general electionBFD. Are we all supposed to jump for joy now? That's a loser attitude.
Low energy and no self-confidence.
I think Trump said he can win them all.
Not very likely. Trump can get some Reagan Democrat types, not Cruz.
I don’t think Cruz could win blue states either. But, then again Hillary or Sanders could lose them also. I didn’t think Reagan would carry blue states in 1980 but I was wrong.
Maybe, but can he win any states in the primaries? Much less the minimum of 8 to even be nominated?

I started to read the comments on this thread and thought I had pulled up DU by mistake.
