I will vote for Cruz if he is the nominee.
But, in my opinion, he is unelectable.
I think Trump is also unelectable.
But, since Trump is not a Conservative, and since Trump’s political principles change every year or two, what difference would it make if Trump does win?
If Trump is the nominee, I will vote for him, but only because I have been a loyal Republican for the last 60 years.
Cruz’s problem from day one, before all the ugliness and silliness out of him and his campaign during the primary, is he’s an incredibly weak general election candidate. Sure he can fire up a segment of the base, but he can’t reach out much beyond it, which is abundantly evident by the fact he is getting clobbered in the primaries.
If you can’t win votes outside the conservative base, you can’t win a national election, you may be able to win conservative districts, or even a conservative state, but if that’s all your appeal is, you cannot win a national election.
The Supreme Court would be saved from becoming 8 communists vs 1 Constitutionalist.
Gotta think realistically here.
