And you seem to not get there are two sides competing in the general so yes a primary that shows more then the Base coming out is an objective sign of the path of the general.
You ignore the almost 200 million in negative ads on Trump have an effect to the lo-info - that all the ones from our side will stop in the General. Moreover. What you hate about Trump (based on bad information) is why so many moderates and even democrats who cannot stand Hillary will use to justify voting for Trump. In other words, the BS hyped up alleged liabilities the GOPe has been pushing about Trump become assets in the General
So, right off the bat two fundamental changes occur that will change the General numbers, The Attacks on Trump by our side will stop, and the moderates, blue dogs, new voters and vengeful Bernie supporters will be getting on the Trump Train. Plus Trump has not opened up on Hillary yet and there is a lot of ammo there to work with.
You further demonstrate your lack of understanding the difference between a primary election and general and instead replace reality with your own personal fantasy.
And if you’re of the alternative reality that the ads that have ran against Trump are going to stop or have all been used up, or that the issues that conservatives have with Trump will end and they’ll be replaced with liberals and independents, then you’re more deluded than I even thought.
I’m not the guy who is still backing the one who lost every swing state by massive amounts in this primary. Now tell me, how is Cruz going to win in a general when he cannot turn out base voters in the swing states for him?
As far as the negative ads. I have no doubt PACS will be operating in favor of Trump in the general that can counter much of the democrats negative ads.
You also have the guaranteed Democrat October Surprise on Cruz. No matter the Merits and arguments He will be barred from the election by a liberal federal judge over his qualifications and the USSC will not be able to undo it with its 4-4 split before the election. So one of two outcomes. Hillary waltzes in unopposed or Obama stays in.
If you think the Dems do not have Liberal Federal judges lined up to do this you have no understanding how ruthless they are.
