I know of no States in play for Cruz that went for Obama in 2012, not a one. I believe that Trump could garner some including Michigan and New York. Just supposition at this point, but Trump has a broader appeal like it or not.
It pains me to say it, but we are playing the Electoral College Game and that's all that matters.
As Republicans we surrender at least 200 Electoral Votes long before Election Day.
If you have a list of States that will propel Cruz to the promised land in the General Election, please list them.
Thats a great point. I have yet to say a state by state breakdown of T vs H, and C vs H. polling.
