Electability has never been my reason for choosing a candidate. Jim Gilmore was my dream candidate for his stance on the issues and his executive ability. Just sayin'.

But for many, electability does play a role. For some, it is their primary reason. And for those, it should be worrisome that Trump has the highest disapproval rating of any Presidential candidate in US history.

Sorry but Cruz is totally un-electable.

Even as a bathroom attendant, he would creep half the population out wanting to look at their genitals before they entered, and the other half just because... well.. because he’d Ted Cruz.

Richard Nixon wasn’t exactly David Cassidy.

You and yours are flush with such self-congratulatory pronouncements. Meanwhile, Donald Trump kicks your silly asses. Purple.

Get a grip.

Oh, There is more to the numbers than just New York vs Wisconsin.

So, Trump received 525, 000 votes in New York, the Dtate he calls his home State, and Cruz received 531, 000 in Wisconsin, a state that was supposed to go for Trump.

Kasich won Ohio with 957,000. 432,000 more than Trump received in New York

Cruz won his home state with 1.24 MILLION votes. 715 thousand more than Trump won in his home State.

80% of the voters in New York voted against Trump. Trump only received 20% of the New York vote.

It is time to unite behind Cruz.

-—in Wisconsin, a state that was supposed to go for Trump.

I am in Illinois and live 30 miles from WI and own a summer home in WI and I never heard except for anecdotal comments that WI would go for Trump.

Quite the opposite.

Nixon won that election and 1968 and 1972.

“Cruz can’t win” is a very safe bet. At this point he has burned so many bridges, he couldn’t pull a majority in a GOP primary against Hillary Clinton.

Townhall.com has really gone downhill this election cycle and shown its true colors. If I get one more email from them with nothing but anti-Trump BS; I’ll unsubscribe permanently. I can get that level of hate from the leftist newsletters. I don’t want to hear it from the right too.

Nixon lost in 1960 unless you live in an alternate reality

The alternate reality where Kennedy’s father bought Illinois for his son? Yes, that’s where I live.

Like a pasture on a dairy farm, this idiotic writer couldn't be more wrong about Cruz and others. The only part that he gets sort of correct, is about Trump.

Many pundits/writers/talking heads have called the GOP primary a "circus". Well, THEY all have been and still are the CLOWNS who understand NOTHING !

That’s the real world. His father and the mob pushed the tally over.

Not disputing that.

Nor am I disputing that in 68 he won because of his rivals, and Wallace gave him the win. I was there, and remember both elections. I was even arrested in Grant Park (but let go because I was on leave and was just watching the hippies) in 68.

He was re-elected because he was a war-time president who ran against.... mc govern. I think Alfred E. Newman won some counties in the US. and so did Pat Paulsen from Laugh In if I remember right. That’s how bad it was.

Nixon should have shellacked the son of mobster in 60, and he was so far ahead of him until that TV debate. It was in the bag. Nixons face and nervous demeanor... that was built for radio killed him.

You shouldn't be allowed to vote, because you are a fool.

And your posts are always laughably ignorant, at best.
