Trump can’t win the general. Cruz has a better chance.
The winner is the person who gets a majority of delegates.
If that were true then Cruz would win his primary. Which he can’t.
Mr. Trump has the best chance to win the general, and that is not an opinion from overzealous supporters. He has a broad base of support that Cruz could not hope to match, and that is not wishful thinking, but an absolute fact.
As for a “majority” of delegates, in my scenario that I posted above, stealing the nomination from Mr. Trump with those numbers I posted would be an outrageous act that will guarantee the end of the Republican party, insure a write in run for Mr. Trump, and insure the dem candidate will win the general. You can also kiss the Senate and the House goodbye, although the house may take another 2 years to flip.
You may not want to agree or believe it, but to look at it from a realistic and logical perspective, what I have stated is most likely what will happen if you get your way.
