If Trump is the Republican candidate, the Democrat machine of ballot-management, crime and fraud will destroy him. The damage will also continue down-ticket.
Donald Trump would be a disastrous candidate. Pure and simple. You want Hillary and a Democrat Senate? Nominate Trump.
New years rubbish!
The only way that "machine" would stand down is if the Dems faced a limp establishment candidate like Jeb. Anyone with an actual chance of winning will be targeted with their maximum effort.
Where is Cruz' path to victory? There is none. Whites will stay home again. Blue collar voters won't trust his and his wife's Wall St. connections. And how does Cruz help downticket races dominated by a GOPe that despises him?
According to Pew, The GOP could get a lowest-ever 20% of the Hispanic vote, 5% of the Black vote and still win with just an additional 4.5% of the White vote. The only poll I've seen asking this, by Gallup in September, showed a startling +8.5% boost for Trump among Whites. That is a landslide.
Wow. Your perspective is completely wrong.

The democrat vote fraud will happen regardless of who our candidate is. If the Trump-haters choose to stay home and not vote, then the defeat is on them.
I assure you that almost EVERY Trump supporter will be there to vote for Cruz if he is the nominee. The only petulant brats in this race who can “damage the down-ticket” are the Trump-haters (unless the GOPe brokers the convention and “choose” Yeb, Rubio, Romney, or someone else that didn’t actually get any votes in the primaries).
Sir, while I respect your views I find myself wondering about WHAT is your basis for saying Trump will ABSOLUTELY lose to Hillary Clinton and never mind the Senate.
Unless you know something I don’t know, the ONLY objective measuring stick regarding voter pre-direction available to ANYBODY on the planet are the various polls. Some no doubt start out trying to prove a point or to sway voter opinion. But, it is a fact that some of the more reputable polls show Trump losing by a couple points to Hillary and some show him winning by a couple points.
So, about the only reasonable conclusion the rest of us peasants can draw is that, according to the most reputable top 3 or 4 or 5 polls, this race, right now, is a toss up. You seem to argue that Trump does not have a chance against Hillary?
To be sure, there is a sub-set of freepers tootin the same horn so you are not the only one. But, a lot of us would like to hear some objective facts to support the “proclamation” that Trump is a SURE LOSER against Hillary.
STFU, Jeb!
Thanks, I plan to do just this very thing. And I have great expectations of a landslide victory.
What a whiner. Go away.
“Donald Trump would be a disastrous candidate. Pure and simple. You want Hillary and a Democrat Senate? Nominate Trump.”
Pretty much my feeling, backed by most polls.
The media has laid off from attacking Trump, so far.
They are keeping it calm and quiet, watching and waiting. If he gets the nomination, boom out come boatloads.
Everything Trump has said, who it was about, will be back in play.
Since all POWs by definition, “got caught” Trump will have to explain that one—all over again.
While McCain was in POW prison, Trump was sitting out the war, instead getting a “small loan of one million” from his father.
And so forth. Just because things were dealt with for GOP primary purposes, don’t for a second doubt they will come up again.
If it's as bad as you say, then no candidate, including Jesus Christ Himself, would beat Hillary.
Therefore, I am still rolling the dice with Trump.
