Yes, I don't put any credence in the general election polls out there now. Yes, Trump can win and he has a better chance than Cruz, but they each have huge negative polling numbers. Cruz does terribly outside of his core base, but Trump will lose much of the traditional gop base. He will pick up cross over voters. Katrina Pierson claims this includes disgruntled Sanders voters. Not sure of what kind of 'win' that is.

I will vote for anyone over H, including Trump. I don't hate the man. Unlike many (most?) Trump supporters vociferously hate Cruz.

The hatred is pretty even from core supporters of both. It's not one way. The names I've been called are likely similar to what you have endured.

I changed in January, not because I disliked Cruz, but because I saw Trump displaying strengths that were far beyond what Cruz had. Like the tag line says, there are reasons, lots of them that I'll go into some other time perhaps.

While not hating Cruz like a lot of people here have come to, I have lost a bit of respect for him. That started when he went to the dark side about the Chicago shut down. He missed a golden opportunity to zing the left there. When he blamed Trump, it disturbed me a lot.

He's now mathematically out of it. I hope he stops his quest, it's now impossible to win after last night's thumping. If he thinks stopping Trump from the magic number is wise at this point, I feel sorry for him. Unless there is some actual deal with Trump under the table he should get out; for him to continue to do the bidding of the GOP elites is nothing but folly. If they actually succeed in stopping him, they will kill all chances of keeping house/senate majorities, tear the party asunder, assure a rat majority and supreme court for as far as the eye can see, and Cruz good name will be totally destroyed.

If he does that, I will join the haters. So far, I simply dislike his new alliance with the GOPE and his inability to form a sentence without trashing Trump.

The stakes are too high for him to continue, it will make him unelectable to any office including dog catcher if he continues. Send this along to CEW wherever he is, because you can bank on the following: If Cruz does not stop his campaign soon to unify the party, if he does not stop his alliance with the GOP cartel he claims to be against, and if they succeed, he will be the most hated man on the right, by the right, for a generation.

The name of Mudd will change to Cruz.
