So are we to assume Ted Cruz was toxic politically because he lost to Donald Trump?
Are we to assume Mitt Romney and John McCain were toxic politically and that's why they lost?
Please inform us of your perspective and spin when you throw this cr@p out.

Are you being a nevertrumper? (Responding in kind)
Mitt and McCain both had problems that Trump does not. Cruz would have been a nice litmus test for the soi-disant conservative simon-pure. But a winner of a national election? That’s another story.

- Romney was toxic after he made the 47% comment. He did not lose a race he would have won. He was in the race, might have won, and blew it with that soundbite. Look at the states he lost though. He might have won FL, OH, and VA, but he was too far behind in states he needed to flip like IA, CO, NV, NH, etc. He could have lost closely rather than decisively.
- McCain was in a very tough position when he ran for President. He had almost no chance and was blown out of the race. Picking Sarah Palin injected life into his campaign. The MSM ravaged her. McCain won 31% of Hispanics which helped but Obama won women (56 - 43), tied in men (49 - 48), came close in white voters (43 - 55) and triggered a monster turnout among black voters to 13% (was 11% in 2004) of voters (95 - 4).
