Just think of all the millions and billions we can save in useless ads, if we just use these February and March polls to pick the next President, get on that Dex, I know you can make this happen, the future is now!

This speaks for itself.
We are talking about a general election, not a GOP primary and in nearly every general election poll, Cruz beats Hillary while Trump gets his ass handed to him. You are delusional if you think Trump is going to get 30% of the minority vote to win a general election LOL

Cruz , an extremist if there ever was one, would lose, and lose badly, to Clinton. One he's exposed to the general voting public, they will run away from him in droves. Just a contemptible candidate, and human being. It's no surprise that no one can stand him on either aisle of the political spectrum...

Primary is test of potential nominee. If potential nominee fails test, then they are unsuitable to win general.

GOP would be quite foolish to nominate a candidate,who can't win anything but a few fly over ststes. Not gonna happen.

Robert Dole's prophesy: If Cruz wins the nomination, it will be a cake walk for Hillary!

Cruz and Sanders are done. It's Hilary vs Trump. GOP has to go along and hopes that Trump wins.

People don't know Cruz yet. If he's leading, it's because he's Generic Republican. Once the public catches on to what he's about he'll sink like a stone. Give it up. No matter what the Republicans do, Hillary wins. It's inevitable and has been since late 2014.

Cruz had an excellent victory speech tonight. He said he beat Trump over and over again. From Alaska to Maine and in between.
