Facts: Numbers and enthusiasm(google it), say the only R candidate capable of beating Hillary is Trump. Simply the candidate with the broadest appeal to the base is the only one capable of winning the election, that’s Trump by a mile.

First, that has nothing to do with my point. BFAC said S/he would not vote for Cruz in the general election if he is the nominee. That is no different from someone saying that they'd never vote for Trump, for which people have been banned.

Second, if Cruz has no path, then why are so many Trump supporters upset that he's trying to "steal" the nomination.

And third, Trump has the highest unfavorability ever recorded for a Preaidential candidate. That is a fact as well that you are free to google.

In other words, Trump is very appealing to his supporters, but nobody else likes him. And if those supporters don't even amount to 50% of GOP primary voters, then how is he ever going to break the 50% mark among the general electorate?

First> Repeat, can’t speak for someone else.

Second> Repeat, Cruz has no path, he’s losing to Trump by 3 to 1 margins in total votes in the primaries and Cruz was crushed in the south, clearly Trumps the choice of the base, not even debatable. Cruz can’t win the general without an enthusiast base, just ask McCain and Romney. And yes Trump supporters, who like me were probably at one time leaning toward Cruz, but now feel he’s not the principled conservative he pretends to be, but instead simply a opportunistic politician.

And yes Trump supporters get a little testy because they see the facts and realize Cruz has no chance of beating Hillary. The media, his campaign, and the GoPe also all know this, the only conclusion being Cruz is probably GoPe, the same GoPe working harder to stop the base’s choice, Trump, than they did to defeat Obama.

Plus Trump supporters fully understand without Cruz’s voters Hillary wins. Cruz knows this, so why is he not working to be VP where he will have a shot at the Prez later. What he’s really doing is destroying his political future and that of the nation. Why?

Third> Polls of fantasy matchups and favorability don’t have near as much meaning as cast votes and guess what, the’re subject to change. Again, Cruz is losing to Trump 3 to 1 with the base, this equates to no chance of beating Hillary. Also, impossible for Cruz to win Fl or Oh.

And finally elections are like sporting events its the real matchup that counts, Trump is gonna look down right presidential standing next to Hillary, Cruz would look like some sleezy lawyer, this also is not debatable.
