How. Where is the path for Cruz? He got 11% of self identified independents in NH. That’s not a path to electoral victory. OTOH, Trump get support across the board. That’s how you win.
A candidate who can win in Boston (which sadly now equals NH) or in NY is the enemy, not our friend. They recognize their own kind there and their kind is who got us into this mess! McCain and Romney types do well there. Doing poorly there is a badge of honor!
