At this point, no one has said why Hillary will beat Cruz. Hillary will win blue states, Cruz will win red states and Ohio is up for grabs.

The only way Cruz loses a red state is if Trump supporters stay home, which is also true for Trump with Cruz supporters. Both do benefit in blue states if Bernie voters stay home.

Basically, the GOPe and MSM split the conservative vote which means Hillary will be President. The only way to stop this is for Cruz and Trump voters ending this blood feud.

Just how do you propose Trump supporters to end the blood feud? What part of #nevertrump is not understood at this point? The only part I can see is the part about what to do when they fail. That is on them, not the Trump supporters.

Not going to happen. I hear many Cruz people saying they will vote for Trump if he gets the nod. I hear no such thing from Trump people.

“Cruz will win red states and Ohio is up for grabs.”

Ted Cruz will not win the state of Florida. I am sorry to say, he is despised by the Trump voters here. And without Florida’s 29 electoral vote she will lose the election. To start with any GOP candidate needs to win the swing states of FL, NV, NC and VA; those are must win states and then he can win the election by taking OH or PA.

But when he loses Florida, he then would need BOTH OH and PA.

The only way Cruz loses a red state is if Trump supporters stay home, which is also true for Trump with Cruz supporters.

Ted Cruz has performed abysmally in "swing" states.

Donald Trump has performed very well, winning basically all of them except Kasich's Ohio.

In addition to that, Donald Trump has about 3 million more vote than Ted Cruz, Cruz has multiple last place finishes, and he also lost the entire South, which was supposed to be his stronghold.

Ted Cruz, simply put, is not a viable national candidate, and this primary cycle has vindicated that observation.

It's the height of conceit to assert otherwise, in the face of these now-historical facts.

There would be no reason for Cruz supporters to stay home if Trump wins the nomination, inasmuch as Trump won fairly by garnering, overwhelmingly, the most delegates and votes.

On the other hand, if Ted Cruz somehow stole seized the nomination from a frontrunner who has an overwhelming advantage in delegates, votes, and enthusiasm, then countless Trump voters would be rightly enraged, and many would end up staying home.

It's basic psychology to conclude that that would be the outcome of such shenanigans.

That's why Ted Cruz's fantasy of winning a contested convention is absolutely unrealistic and indeed foolish, because, even if he were successful, it would irreparably splinter the party, destroy voter enthusiasm, cause millions of Trump voters to stay home, and consequently hand the November election to Hillary.

Now, what sane person would want to risk that?

Ted Cruz might be willing to sacrifice the party, or even the country's future, on the altar of his own selfish ambition, but thankfully, neither the GOP voters nor their delegates will be willing to do such a suicidal thing.

Ted Cruz has lost.

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump!
