The Weakly Standard is completely turning away from the fact that Raphael is going to implode because of all his lyin'.

Those that didn’t vote Romney stayed home because he was a RINO but, at least he never contributed to democrats.

You’ve got that right, and I suspect the reverse would happen if Ted Cruz won the nomination and then lost to Hillary or Sanders. When all is said and done, it is the GOP who really is behind all of the acrimony. Alas, the Stupid Party is also the Petty Party which means they are the Pitiful Party.

Weekly Standard is published by a Neocon who gleefully proclaimed the era of Reagan is over.

that’s all I think you need to know.

Hillery Clinton would destroy Ted Cruz.

For the same reason Sarah Palin has high negatives. A constant, day in and day out drumbeat of hatred spewed by Fox News in particular, egghead talking heads and magazine pundits, popular but moronic celebrities, etc. Who could withstand this stuff?

I still believe Trump will smash Hillary if the nominee.

RE: I’ve asked this many times of Cruz supporters and have never gotten anything but crickets. Assuming Cruz wins a contested convention on the 2nd, 3rd, whatever ballot, what is his path to 270?

Objectively, at this point in time, unless Hillary gets indicted, neither Cruz nor Trump are going to beat Hillary. That’s just the way things are as of this time.

There’s a significant number who are still establishment supporters, but a huge number want to see the GOP destroyed ( and that’s a huge number within the GOP itself ). The GOP is DIVIDED today.

Let’s face it, this country is becoming more and more center left, when in the past, it was more center right.

Cruz will lose to Hillary, but so will Trump ( I think by an even bigger spread ).

This is going to change very quickly once Trump becomes the nominee.

Read all the posts here. They are refuting it as we speak.

Let them have Utah

Stop bending over backwards for the Mormons

Trump attracts blue collar workers, states like Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, and the like are in play

Why barely win with Utah nutjobs, when you can appeal to the rust belt and blue collar workers and blow this thing out of the water?

Utah, 6 measly EV

NY, NJ, PA, OHIO, MI 79

We win those state, we got the Whitehouse

We need to think outside the box on this, stop assuming this election will be like the 5 and redraw the EV map

Trump is the only GOP candidate with national appeal.

Cruz is at best a strong regional candidate, if we leave in his wins in ME, AK and WI off the table.

Kasich has won zero states outside his home state of OH.

Jonathan Last must be using Common Core math to make the argument about Trump’s unelectability.

And gee, he will sweep the Northeast in in the closing weeks of this month.

The morons at Weekly Standard were proclaiming Trump would never be the GOP nominee. Now they’re writing he can’t win the general election.

That and 2 cents will tell us how much their political analysis has held up so far this year.

#NeverTrumpers will never be convinced by the facts.

A blind man can see it. In the General, Trump gets slaughtered. Sadly, Cruz would do no better.
