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

I was a Cruz fan. I still think Cruz is the best Senator we have and I'm a pretty big Jeff Sessions fan as well. But compare voting records and Cruz wins.

But to your point. You are probably right about the upper Midwest but it would nice to hear the rational for the claim.

Nevertheless, we owe this election to WI, MI and PA. There is no doubt that the people of those states heard Trump's message. I was betting Trump would squeeze in with a close win in NH followed by a win in NV. I thought we had a good chance in MI and didn't even consider that WI was in play. And PA? We never win PA, we just get close.

It was an amazing election and this former (and still) Cruz supporter is inclined to agree: We probably did need Trump to take on and defeat the Wicked Witch.

Cruz would have had a difficult time winning Missouri. The cross-over democrats I know, did not like Cruz.

Probably true.
