Neither Cruz nor Rubio can win a national election. And I am factoring in Hillary Clinton being hauled away at some juncture.
you are postulating that Cruz/Rubio cannot defeat Bernie Sanders in a general election...? Sanders is the one individual who gives the Pubs the best shot at changing the EV map...
I don’t think there is one chance in a million that they will allow Sanders to be the nominee. Remember, the Dems have retained their super-delegate arrangement, which controls their nomination process.
I think Rubio could win nationally, but I’m not so sure about Cruz. Their positions are very similar, but Rubio is a more attractive personality. That said, I’d vote for either of them, but im a conservative Republican and most of the country is not.
The only thing most of the country would vote for is who is going to give them the most freebies.
