Take a look at the RCP averages of Cruz vs Hillary. Cruz beats her. Look at Trump vs. Hillary. Trump loses.
Doesn’t matter.
If Cruz is the genuine conservative that you say he is, then if Trump is taken out, there’s no chance at all that he’s going to be the nominee. All remaining establishment tricks will be pumping up Rubio. Cruz will be left with nothing except bad memories of getting stabbed in the back.
And if Cruz ISN’T the genuine conservative that you say he is, then we’re boned!
Cruz vs Hillary and Cruz wins?? Where do you get that, please? I want to see it. I bet we all do.
