I'd argue that Ted Cruz was a far more formidable opponent than either Santorum, Paul, or Gingrich. And don't bet on Trump not getting more of the Latino vote in Florida. Can you spell R-u-b-i-o ?
Of course you would, you're a Trump supporter.
When Cruz announced his candidacy, it was largely considered a joke. No one thought him electable, and many felt it was he was doing it for no other reason than to boost his appearance fees down the line.
Yeah, stronger than Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. Keep dreaming.

Desperation, no.
An unfair comparison, yes. Romney after all, was a much stronger nominee than Trump.
Cruz, Santorum, Paul and Gingrich are all awful candidates. None would get over 45% of the vote in a national election and a few would struggle to get over 40%.
The demographics are against him in both states: too many women, too many blacks, too many people in the Philly/Pittsburgh metros in PA and too many women, too many blacks, too many immigrants with citizenship, and way too many Hispanics in FL.
Yes, because we all know that Hispanics are a monolith that votes in lockstep with La Raza/sarcasm.
And every single woman in the country hates Trump/sarcasm.
I'm with WaldoKitty ... Fat Bottom will get creamed in November by Trump.
One never knows in politics ... perhaps Fat Bottom will squash The Egomaniacal One. I am sure that by early September TEO will guarantee that he will convincingly win 45 of the 50 states. We'll wait and see.
I wonder if Trump is going to choose the current Florida Governor (Rick Scott) as his VP choice, in an attempt to win Florida.
Rick Scott already has supported Trump for this campaign, so at least he won't say 'no'. Since lots of other Republicans don't want to be associated with Trump, this limits his VP choices. Rick Scott has less charisma than a mannequin,whch Trump might like because Trump wants all the spotlight and Scott would be happy to stay in the background and mud sling and be Trump's yes man.
Thanksdad should concentrate on not losing the Red States . . . . AZ, GA and UT, among others, look to be in play based on recent analysis. Secure your home court first, homie.

Even Texas, the state has a large minority population. This poll is from last year, he could be doing worse since he had more support back in September 2015 in the national polls. 43.4% vs 40.8%
Trump followers in Feb-General election polls 9 months out are meaningless
Trump followers in Mar-General election polls 8 months out are meaningless
Trump followers in April-General election polls 7 months out are...oh wait! What? Rasmussen poll shows Trump ahead of Hillary by 3 points! Trump is going to crush Hillary in Nov!!
Trump followers in May-General election polls 6 months out are meaningless
Im sure you can guess how June-Oct will go right?
Yep, November 7, 2016:
"the polls mean nothing, Trump still has 24 hours to cream Hillary, send her to prison and win 95% of the women, black and hispanic vote"
And a poll from September 2015 is relevant how again?
