If you're a Dem, you would rather face Cruz than Trump in the general. Despite what the current general election polls say. I think Trump actually has a chance to beat Hillary, but Cruz doesn't have a prayer. Cruz can even win the popular vote and still lose the election. The reason is simple, it's due to the electoral map. Trump has chance to flip blue states or at least make all purple states very competitive. Cruz on the other hand, does not really change the map. Sure Cruz will get tons of enthusiasm and extra useless votes in deep red states like Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, but that doesn't help him one bit in November. He can beat Hillary 90% to 10% in Texas and it still wouldn't change a thing. Ted Cruz has as much of a chance to flip blue states come November as me winning the powerball. As for swing states like Virginia, Florida, New Hampshire, Ohio, Colorado, Minnesota etc. These are all Cruz's weakest states in the primary thus far based on primary results and poll showings thus far. Most Republicans in those states are not evangelicals and don't like someone who can't work with others.
The truth is that a Republican won't win without the enthusiastic support of Evangelicals. That was Romney's undoing. Yes, Cruz has the support of evangelicals but as a Reagan conservative, his support is far broader and deeper than that. Cruz can win swing states like Ohio and
Florida. He will basically carry what Romney did with the critical additions of Ohio and/or Florida as well as enough swing states to give him the victory.
The polls indicate that Cruz has a much better shot at beating Hillary than Trump. You love polls when they suit you, I'm sure but you refuse to use them when it is appropriate.
Bottom line - get ready cause Ted's gonna Cruz to victory!
