I like Cruz but just don’t think he can win a national election. He has no chance of bringing democrats into the fold. His record on abortion (no exceptions of any kind) would be hung around his neck and Hitery Clinton would say he hates women. Rubio has the same problem. For all his faults Trump would have a better chance at winning a general election. At least I think he would. I think that’s why the democrats hate him with a passion and never mention any other candidates.

The same poll shows Ted even with Hillary. Trump -7 against her.

Cruz’s view on abortion would be a bold color difference compared to any other viable candidate vs. clinton.

We need the bold colors of Reagan, not the pale pastels of the GOPe and Trump on abortion.

Has any noticed the polling that shows the country has been steadily moving towards the prolife position for a while?

It’s the MSM, the WXLYGBT movement and the left that worship abortion rights and want all, to think the world does too.

Cruz is a gifted orator that can compassionately defend his position against a barrage of hate.

The planned parenthood videos only serve to bolster and support the pro-life position as well.

I tend to agree and here's how I look at it.

If Cruz gained the nomination I doubt Trump would accept running as VP with Cruz.

You then have the backlash and disappointment of Trump voters, some of which will vote for Trump anyway, some would support Cruz, but the rest would, I believe, stay at home, as happened in 2012.

Right now Cruz is playing against Trump. Those who think Trump is too brash and rough to be president will find that when Cruz has to stand on his own, he will be "kneecapped" by his own party, the GOPe, just as he has been compromised over and over again in the U.S. Senate.

This is what they said about Reagan. It’s the drum they’ve been pounding since the beginning. They want people to believe it, but it’s simply not true.

And you say this by which line of reasoning?
