Would some Cruz people please tell me, and be specific with EV counts, what states would Ted Cruz win that Mitt Romney did NOT win in 2012, and get to a total of at least 270 EV's?
You know I keep hearing that talking point, now have you ever thought and looked at the previous elections thus far?
Trump has won every demographic and has over 2 million more votes.
Now has it ever occurred to you that the media and the establishment is lying to you.
Whoa re you going to believe, your own eyes or the media who doe snot want Trump to upset their open border policy?
My answer is that I don’t believe he would win any.
Cruz didn’t do well in the primary although I voted for him. The Rubio ads took some votes away from Cruz and Trump. The general will be a whole new ballgame. The key problem for Cruz is the bureaucrats, liberals and political rent seekers around NoVA. They see Hillary as the gravy train.
and are you happy in how the establishment are pushing their corrupt ways in order to stop their open border policy??
The dynamics of the general are completely different.
Trump can’t win his own states NY & FL in the general.
it is , but you also have to look at the excitement and the enthusiasm in those states in the primary for cruz and it does not look good for him./
trump whether you like him or not has brought out many more new voters, unlike cruz who only has his small base.
I am in FL and there is no way in hell he could ever win this state, meaning it will be Clintons White House.
If the Trumpers hold to their word and won’t vote for Cruz then it’s a Hillary landslide.
“The question is, what states will Hiliary lose if shes opposed by someone not more unpopular than her?”
Respectfully, that was NOT the question.
The answer to the actual question is none.
Cruz will get far fewer votes than even Romney because the nomination of Cruz will be the final straw for many millions of highly reluctant Romney/McCain/Dole supporters who now enthusiastically support a fighter like Trump.
Cruz is the establishment loser candidate with all the built in loser qualifications.
Because of Romneycare, Romney could not exploit the politically disastrous Obamacare. Plus, Romney’s cold fish, deferential-to-Obama, puching-bag personality was entirely the wrong personality to win.
Similarly, Cruz’ daily lying takes away the powerful trust issue against Hillary, and his oily, nasty personality takes away the powerful issue of Hillary’s unlike-ability.
Cruz cannot make a personal connection with normal people, and would be wiped out even by the repugnant Hillary.
Beware of the media mantra “women hate Trump”.
This is the current media attack on Trump, all based on media polls.
Lets say for the moment that this is true. How would Trump be more liked by women? Supporting abortion? Being more the (media preferred) effeminate man?
Really believe this is an argument the media will make against any male candidate, if it fits their agenda.
Reality and all that matters.
Trump will have 1100-1300 delegates, next closest is Cruz with 700-800, GoPe is not suicidal, Trump wins on the first ballot if needed, GoPe to negotiate for VP.
Cruz is out. Guaranteed.
This race was over after Trumps beat down of Cruz in Fl and Oh, 1,000,000(margin of Trump over Cruz) pissed off R voters in those 2 states alone, if Trump is booted. Gope wants to hold on to Senate and House seats.
You want to bet he can’t win FL.
I ma here and this is certainly Trump country, hell he wins 66 of the 67 counties, cruz wins nothing.
The enthusiasm for Trump is high for him here in FL.
I’ve seen this question before. I hope you are sincere.
At 270towin.com you can look at and analyze this question to your hearts content.
Of course it really is impossible to know.
What we do know:
1. Cruz has three times as many electoral votes as trump in known state polls.
2. Cruz consistently out performs his polls. Trump does not.
3. Cruz is more likely to beat Hillary in national polls.
4. America is more republican than it has ever been since 1920s.
I don’t think the premise of your vanity is true.
Cruz could win most states Romney didn’t.
None. He draws zero excitement from Democrats as they will see him as just another Republican. His Republican supporters are just 39% enthusiastic about his candidacy and the media and his GOPe handlers would not allow Cruz to attack Clinton. He would have to pay for every second of air time except Meet The Press which no one watches anyway. Since he is an anti-Cheap labor Express guy and THAT is where the only money left is, he won’t get squat from them unless he pulls back. When he does he loses rank and file Republicans who are tired of paying for undocumented Democrats. As I said the answer is: None.
I fundamentally disagree. Coming is 3rd in a primary does not mean you loose the state when you are at the top of the ticket. There is no reason to think that those opposed to Cruz in the primary are going to vote for Hitlery, that is slime think. Unless, Hitlery is sent to a federal prison in Virginia and she runs as a resident, I don’t think she will carry the state.
Maybe the State of Confusion and the State of Despair?
I ma in FL and there is no excitement for him here, no enthusiasm for cruz.
For Trump people are excited and talk about him every day here, they also look at cruz as the spoiler for the establishment and many have said that if Trump is cheated out of this then they will not vote.
Cruz is preferred by very conservative voters.
Conservative voters stayed home in 2012.
Cruz haters!
Stop hating.
I don’t believe that he has a 70% disapproval among women. The media keeps saying it but the actual results say something different. If Trump if so unpopular why is he kicking Ted’s ass six ways from Sunday? Either Ted is worse or you and the media are lying.
