The polls tell all we need to know about the candidates. Conservatives like Cruz, moderates like Trump. Trump is the poster child for moderate Republicans, just like Romney was last time. That might be why Trump polls so poorly against Hillary and Sanders in the general election. Moderates can't win general elections.

Cruz leads 38/24 among 'very conservative' voters, but Trump makes up for that with a 34/17 advantage among 'somewhat conservative' voters and a 32/6 one with moderates.

Trump is not viewed or perceived as a moderate

And perception is nine tenths of reality

Trump’s positions are the most conservative of those running.

So much so that ‘teddy bear’ Ted started copying his illegal immigration plan when he saw it was winning.
