Cruz will not take PA. if he is the top of the ticket it will go to Hillary.
I live here. He has no cross over appeal at all.
Why you ask......
He is a wealthy lawyer who built up a million dollar investment portfolio by the time he was 41, 15 years after starting to work in the real world.
His comments on raising the retirement age to 70 are tone deaf. For most folks in the manual trades, working until 70 is out, making it to 67 is really difficult, but many will try. Asking them to make it to 70 is like asking them to fly to the moon. So under that plan 85 percent of folks will have to take early retirement, effectively lowering their income.
Had he not said this I might give him some chances, PA is a pro gun state and Hillary is awful on that. But when you mess with working folks retirement, and you are a rich man who made your money on government service....well that is electoral suicide.
Sorry to say that, but that is what I see on the ground in the suburbs of Philly.
Exactly, Cruz is dead in PA... he never was going to take PA, with or without Trump around... Cruz has no shot at PA, never ever did, nor does he have any shot in a general election in WI or ME either.
Cruz or Kasich or anyone else will not win a single extra state that any Republican would win... the only player in the game who can expand the party is Trump.... and he’s doing that by taking on the dogma that the Neocons in power have been pushing for the last 30 years that clearly isn’t working.
Like him or hate him, he’s the only player in the game who’s got any change of redefining the electoral map.

Believe you...But, PA and many other states were pretty close in 2012...Hillary is such a bad candidate that I think she can be beaten...once the nominations are cast, the dynamics of a 1:1 race will change everything!
