If Cruz is so unelectable, please explain why Cruz performs MUCH better against Hillary in polls than Trump does A vote for Trump just assures a victory for Hillary.
because January polls for the general before the conventions don't mean jack! You should know better and Hillary only being up by 5% over Trump with 9 months to go when she has the name recognition and the most Super Pac money and the DNC supporting and protecting her shows she is in trouble.
Carter was beating Reagan by 20% in January 1980......Dukakis was beating Bush 1 by over 25% in early 1988.....Bill Clinton had NO shot of even winning the nomination of his party early 1992 let alone beat an incumbent President....the list is long.
You have to win the divisional playoff game before you get to play in the S.B.....tell me Cruz path for the nomination? coming in 2nd and 3rd in most states? yeah real winner there!
Historically speaking, D's are foot soldiers. They'll vote for their candidate no matter who it is. That is a by-product of identity politics IMO.
The same can't be said on the R side, many will just stay home. They are much more issues driven If an R doesn't hold the base together (tea party, evangelicals, liberty, etc.) , they will lose. The only time the R candidate has won in the last 9 Prez elections as when the base came out and voted for the R candidate. When they don't an stay home -- see Dole, Bush 41 re-election, McCain, Romney -- they lose.
Or: the base simply isn't as big as you think it is. If there was a mandated vote in the US, the Democrats would wipe the floor with the GOP. The GOP vote is older, and older voters tend to.... Vote.

Caucuses?????? is that how Cruz is going to win in the general by a 50 state caucuses and tell everybody Hillary is dropping out of the race?
we all know how Cruz won Iowa, lying cheating bastard.........strange that he can't repeat the win anymore in the rest of the states including South Carolina.

Are you living in the future? Only TWO states have voted so far. Get back to me after Super Tuesday.

Super Tuesday? LMAO!!!!.....so you are giving up on South Carolina for Cruz....LMAO!!
Super Tuesday: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Mass, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Wyoming.
Call your shots, tell me which states Cruz will come #1 apart from Texas his home state which he should win by double digits anything less is WEAK victory on Cruz.
By the way, all those states are proportional......the primary will be decided on the primaries in winner takes all delegates which Cruz has no chance of coming #1.
