And predictions for Cruz don’t show him doing much better. In fact polls run with Ryan or Romney don’t show them fairing well, either.
I have a hard time believing any of these polls with Hillary winning.
I honestly have felt for over a year that it’s most likely that any democrat beats any republican in 2016 and 2020. If Trump is a sure loser, that would probably be the same for Cruz, Rubio, or any of them.
Just roll the dice.
Exactly right. If you scroll through the RCP polls, Cruz isn’t doing any better against Hillary and Bernie than Trump is. They’re both losing. That is mostly due to the heated rhetoric of a closely contested primary. It’s hurting both of them, which is normal. I’ve been around politics a long time, and none of this is new. While our guys are eviscerating each other, they look bad to the general public. It’s not something to worry unduly about, although that won’t stop the NYT from trying to make something out of it.
Hillary and Bernie are going at it, too, but the media isn’t “tsk tsking” over it like they are Trump and Cruz, so it’s not driving down their numbers.
Get the nomination process over with and we’ll see what the real numbers look like.
