Cruz had zero chance of winning in the upper midwest in a general election.

"Cruz probably could have won...

Only in your unConstitutional dreams. He will NEVER be eligible for president.

Cruz might have not been as successful in PA, OH, Michigan, and Wisconsin. He did not fair well at all in the primaries in any of them.

I doubt Cruz would have won. Trump won because absolutely nothing was off the table. Cruz took the “past” off the table early on. Not to mention he wasn’t likable at all and there is just no way he would have won in the rust belt

True-but I believe that from the start, Trump displayed a strong, focused and very consistently articulated personal conviction.

He didn’t let the MSM dictate to him or de rail him. It was ALWAYS apparent that it was HIS race... HE would control his image, his vision, his plans, his direction.

Not the MSM, not the DNC and no one was going to manipulate him or his campaign.

In the face of everything, that took a tremendous amount of conviction and courage. It was just what Conservatives have been waiting for.

As Winston Churchill said: “Intellect has nothing to do with fitness for the job.”

If Trump speaks like a dock hand and commits avoidable and embarrassing political and policy blunders...so be it.... We have had 8 years (longer actually) of Democrats who do as much and worse while sustaining VERY LONG and active political careers - and never improve THEIR delivery.

Trump will be fine... and in addition, he is smart enough to defer to the right people. That’s worth a lot.

There will be NO ‘I hate America’ bast*&ds in HIS administration and there is a gargantuan step in the right direction, right there!!

Cruz withered when seriously facing Trump, devolving from a fine contender into a petty gnat. And I voted for him.
He’d not have lasted long against the Democratic machine. Neither would have most other candidates.

Trump survived because when the Left played dirty, he didn’t care because he was already dirty.

Hillary would have exploited his Canadian birth to no end. You can argue all that you want if he was eligible, but this would have killed him.

Cruz might have been able to win, although he would not have been able to talk over the MSM’s head like Trump has done throughout the campaign. In light of this I would have to judge Cruz’s ability to win as being very improbable.

**********

We’ll never know but Cruz will be back on the campaign trail in a few months
assuming he intends to run for the Senate seat. It will be interesting to see who runs
against him and how Texas reacts.

Cruz, um no.

Not after losing the entire South, every county in Florida & Ohio could Ted have possibly won. She certainly would have won FL, OH, PA, WI, MI.

She would have campaigned much less and won very easily.

And if he did pose a serious threat, she could have him DQ late in the race. He is not qualified by the same Constitution he touts next to his Bible.

I was all in for Cruz until our primary here in South Carolina.
Cruz won no precincts and no demography in a state that has liberal Charleston,
moderate Columbia and conservative Greenville.
There was nothing for him to work on or "fix".
He had no base to build on, his train had no wheels,
it was already over for him.

Cruz wouldn’t have focused on the rust belt hence he would have lost

Cruz? The guy with the greasy face and hair, the Canadian citizenship, the piercing nasal voice like a dentist’s drill, the Bushie past, and the depressive wife with big hair?

No way Cruz would have won. We like our sermons in church on Sunday not from a politician who has zero personal skills.
