You seem to be underestimating Trump and what he has brought to the table. His supporters are the most enthusiastic and loyal. The GOP is a dying party, but Trump's entrance into the race is the main reason turnout records are being set. Debate viewership is also setting huge records. Trump has set the agenda for the campaign to include subjects like immigration, trade, the treatment of vets, etc. These are subjects that never would have been raised, certainly not in the way they are now.

Cruz has changed his positions on immigration and trade to draft off of Trump's resonance with the voters, especially those earning $30,000 a year or less. Without Trump in the race, Cruz would have been destroyed a long time ago. He could never have withstood the challenges of Rubio and Bush.

If Trump fails to gain the nomination despite winning more states, delegates, and votes by far, the GOP will be dead in the General.

Well, you are wrong and here is why.
Ted Cruz is TEA Party pedigree with a Conservative Review Liberty Score of 97% who successfully defended the 2nd Amendment, the Christian Cross and The Ten Commandments before the US Supreme Court—single handily temporarily shut down the government to stop Obamacare—scuttled the Gang of Eight amnesty bill, (Ted was fighting illegal immigration when Trump was still banging cocktail waitresses in Vegas) and called the GOP-e liars in the senate liars on the senate floor.
Cruz ain’t perfect, 97% ain’t but at least, like Reagan was, he is a consistent conservative not an opportunistic neo RINO.
But enough about Ted, what has Trump actually DONE to help restore America to the constitutional republic the Founders created. Lotsa TALK but where dah beef?
Take your time.
