If Cruz was in he would be down 20% by now just like he lost to Trump by 20%. How could Cruz be beating Hillary if he cannot even beat Trump? You complain about Trump getting 45%. Well, Cruz only got 25%! Hello!!!
Needing 1,237 to win, the first ballot convention vote had Trump with 1,725 and Cruz at under 500.
That was the biggest win of any non-incumbent Republican in recent history.
Trump got the highest number of primary votes of any Republican in history.
Levin can continue to ignore the results, but Cruz would not have attained those kinds of numbers. Cruz just did not have that much pazazz and charisma.
