Cruz has little to no chance of winning purple states and he won’t win any blue states.

His opponent is going to be Hillary Clinton, not JFK or Godzilla. They said the same about Reagan. They were wrong.

Reagan wasn’t a smarmy little twit that teamed up with the likes of Rubio to attack the front runner.

Cruz is not Reagan. Reagan had broad appeal from both sides of the isle. Cruz appeals to the right wing of the republican party. In the 70s we were in a major depression, gas rationing, and high unemployment. Most people were looking for solutions and ready to try anything.

Today we have a sitting left wing idealog who is broadly popular, the economy is limping, and low unemployment. A large portion of our electorate PEFERS socialism. Add to the problem MSM in the tank for Hillary and the spineless GOP.

Based on this no way does Cruz win NY, FL, CA, PA, MI, OH, VA, the northeast corridor states, or the pacific northwest. There is no path to the White House.

Why does DJT do better than Cruz in open primary states? Because he attracts independents, moderates, and Democrats. Unfortunately, these are the people you need to win the general election.

Not trying to bash any candidate or start a flame war.
