Don't blame Trump for the GOP's troubles.

He's just a symptom of the self-inflicted disease infecting the party.

3/4 women view him unfavorably
2/3 Independents view him unfavorably
80% young adults view him unfavorably
85% Hispanics view him unfavorably
1/2 Republicans and Independent leaning Republicans view Donald Trump unfavorably.

One month ago Donald held a 3 point deficit at Real Clear Politics against Hillary Clinton but now shows, one month later, an 11 point deficit.

In the swing states, he is losing to Hillary in Ohio; is ahead of her in Florida by 1 point, trails her in North Carolina, and Hillary beats Trump handily in Virginia, NH, Iowa, New York, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Cruz's numbers in these swing states are better than Trumps. So, it is better to choose Cruz for a chance of a victory than to go with Trump who will be obliterated by Hillary.
Cruz would be buried just as deep as Trump in November.

Repeat after me ... "I'm running as an Independent" ...
Repeat after me... "Donald Trump will not spend that kind of money when he knows he will lose by running as an independent"

Those numbers are bogus. I know more Trump supporters than anyone else and many are women. Yep, those numbers are bogus.

I heard tell that trump 'threw his staff under the bus'. Bet the bold above is a tactfully worded version of that. Bet he finally figured out that a cult of personality isn't going to guarantee him the nomination, along with the realization that he has nothing of a ground game in any state. Did he really think all those dangling delegates would fall in his lap? How incredibly egotistical of him! Deranged, delusional, disgusting, and just plain dumb.
