Lets say you chaps are correct and Cruz gets the nomination by the second ballot without any need to accommodate trump and his supporters.

fine...

what is the path to victory in the November election:

How does Cruz have a chance to take Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia and Maryland.

Polls show Trump to be competitive in those states (you could make an argument he is not in Ohio and Maryland, granted).

Not so sure about Ted. Living in eastern PA I can tell you the working middle class see very little appeal in him. He simply does not really address the issues that matter to them.

Him saying he wants to raise the retirement age to 70 is pure gold for the Dems. So the guy that had 1 million in assets at age 39, as a government employee wants the working folks to give something up at 67....Does not play well. Tone deaf.

So please one of the Cruz advocates has to address this, which I notice none ever do. You all ignore it or make simple declarative statements about happy days. You all simply state he beats Hillary, which is a willful ignoring of detailed poll data and a failure to understand and entire northeast/ex-industrial states. It is simple projection of your desires.

The rest of the country dos not see it that way.

Polls show Trump gets slaughtered against Clinton or Sanders.

Its a mixed bag with Cruz. Some show Clinton, some say Cruz.

Sanders beats both Trump and Cruz in these pre-convention polls.

I’ll tell you what is pure gold for the Dems: Trump’s continued feeding into the “Republicans hate women” storyline, be it true or not. He constantly is feeding into that. Combine that with a complete lack of any consistancy in regards to MANY possitions, ranging from homosexual marriage, to abortion, to universal healthcare, to property rights...

He’s a disaster.

As far as Cruz’s ability to craft a message the country as a whole will adopt, I believe its quite clear his policy stances on lower taxes, building the wall, his foreign policy initiatives, his promise to repeal the mess of Obamacare, to return the government to be in compliance with the Constitution, all resonate with Americans. Tack on a few Supreme Court appointments, and it really makes the case.

Conservatism wins. It really does. We just never get to try it.

The GOPe has had a solid hold of the party for so long, we never get to attempt conservatism.

As mentioned before, we have made it past that point. We can get a conservative on the ticket. Cruz CAN and WILL win, we have to give him the chance to do so.

It is nothing but campaign rhetoric to suggest otherwise.

In all honesty, I believe the RATs are completely screwed regardless of who we nominate. Given that, why not pursue a solid conservative with a proven track record?

How does Cruz have a chance to take Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia and Maryland.

Cruz is a sure ticket to Hitlery, and anyone that thinks otherwise is either insane or intentionally trying to destroy the Republic.

Oh, except the Free $hit Army, Pro Politico Parasites and the GOPe/DnC apparatchiks that just want the ~~gravy~~ BLOOD train to keep flowing to the Deep State coffers...

How "conservatives" could support Cruz after suffering through 8 years of the FIRST unnaturalized, unAmerican POTUS is truly right out of the Twilight Zone!

Path to certain failure:

RAFAEL EDUARDO CRUZ HAS NEVER PASSED MUSTER!
