"I respect Sen. Cruz immensely, I just believe at this point, Mr. Trump is better-positioned, because of his stance on trade, to put Democrats on the defensive in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and ensure that Republicans win again," he said.

I don't see Cruz or Rubio winning any manufacturing states, whereas Trump could win their primaries, and defeat the Democrats in those.

Or that someone is probably going to run out of money before payday, and seems likely to stiff a paid worker.

How soon are the primaries in the territories?

More electable means getting 20% of non-Republicans to vote for him, which nobody has contested. If Cruz was half-RAT he’d get the crossover votes, too.

News flash. The vast majority of political pros are opportunists. That is a big reason why our country is in the shape it is in.

Cruz lost his evangelical Southern base to a New York businessman who likes to swear. So yeah I’d say Cruz isn’t electable

Cruz supporters in Texas were very happy that it is apparently hard to even find Trump’s name on the ballot. I am assuming more dirty tricks from the Cruz team.
