How many vanilla generic moderate independent non political women are going to vote for the first time ever because they want to see a woman president.2. Cruz is a much bigger threat to win the Presidency than Trump is. Why? Because A. He will embarrass Hilly in the debates,
YOu know, not seeing it. Hillary is a much more seasoned debater than you all give her credit for. Just ask Rick Lazio.
B. He will carry far more LEGAL Hispanic votes than Trump will,
Probably. But this is a "Leper with the most fingers" distinction. Cruz will do as badly as Romney did.
C. every legal Cuban in America will vote for him,
Cubans are less than 10% of the Hispanics in the United States, mostly concentrated in Florida. They won't be that big of a factor.
D. he is proclaimed by every CONSERVATIVE outlet across the spectrum to be the staunchest conservative in the race,
Again, you guys work on the delusion there are conservatives out there that Romney and McCain didn't get, or that there are enough of them to tip the scales in your favor. The fact is, Romney, McCain and Bush all got between 59-61 million votes. That's your range. unless you expand that base, you aren't going to improve your vote total.
And you run the risk that moderates who were fine with McCain or Romney and their relatively vanilla, corporate personalities are going to really want a loose cannon like Trump in charge.
E. Trump votes will migrate to Cruz, much easier than Cruz votes migrate to Trump,
Not necessarily. Trump actually attracts people outside the GOP base, like my brother the Union Thug.
F. Cruz is actually a politician, and KNOWS the constitution better than any candidate from either side,
He's a politician who is universally disliked in Washington.
G. he is seen as the modern Reagan, which is why the left fear him so much........along with the Republican establishment.
Reagan was likable, even when he was saying hateful stuff. Cruz just comes off as hateful.
Republican guys better get absentee ballots and fill them out for your wives or even they will secretly vote for hillary and never tell you.
