Former Cruzer here. Now all I care about is supporting the eventual Republican Nominee. Cruz or Trump are OK with me.
Just one question.
If Cruz can’t beat Trump in the Primary, how can he beat Hillary in the General?
Cruz will destroy Clinton. and it will probably be quick
“if Cruz can’t beat Trump in the Primary, how can he beat Hillary in the General?”
Because the population of general election voters is very different from the population of primary voters in terms of voting preferences. For example, primaries in my state used to select Ron Paul every time. Primaries were never intended to be anything like national polls.
I’ll borrow the exclamation mark from the made-up part of the threads title:
Stop making sense!
What's hilarious is when Cruz stumps and says Trump can't beat Clinton (because polls say so)...and yet Cruz can't beat Trump.
Hannity has it right. It is ALL about beating Hillary. If we don't win this election, we are doomed.
I'm horrified by what the RNC is doing with the delegate count. I would never have believed this would happen in the United States of America. It is shameful.
Sorry for the rant. I'm just disgusted at the moment.
“If Cruz can’t beat Trump in the Primary, how can he beat Hillary in the General?”
If Trump doesn’t get to 1,237 then Trump hasn’t beaten anyone.
This is one of the dumbest questions asked here on FR every single day. Quick answer, different populations are being surveyed, in the one that COUNTS (General electorate) Trump loses to Hillary, whereas Cruz is about even. Another way to explain it, in the Primaries, its Republicans being asked, but Republicans only amount to 1/3 of the electorate. There, perhaps this will be the last time this has to be explained.
And like you, I too was a former Cruzer. Also like you, I'll support the nominee against Hellary.
