Love Ted Cruz....I’m not convinced he can win a general election however.

Contrary to the conventional wisdom pumped out by GOP pundits and the mainstream media, I actually do think Trump would be a strong candidate in the general election precisely because he would draw in moderates and working Dems.

I certainly would agree that such is conceivable. Fact is, I believe any non-establishment Republican is capable of winning in this particular cycle.

Which, of course, includes Cruz. Who, I would submit, is currently the 2nd choice for just about everybody who has Trump as a 1st choice. And a man whose appeal and campaign is far more fundamentally conservative than Trump's.

Plus, I believe Cruz' dismissal of the GOP Senate leadership indicates that he's up to breaking just as much Washington china as Mr. Trump might be.
