Your Ted, heck of a nice guy, is unelectable both now and in November.
Take a look at the exit polling, particularly in The South.
He came in between 2nd-4th place among those who consider themselves Very Conservative and most Evangelical. Those results are mirrored in the Monmouth polling for upstate NY.
He would stand a strong chance of losing 1-2 reliably red Southern states in the GE.
And there is no way he could win Florida and capture the 29 EV.
1. He was 500,000 plus votes behind Trump in FL.
2. Cruz did not win in the areas where he targeted & campaigned. The votes were not lost to Rubio, he lost all that territory to Trump.
3. He did not win a single county in the entire state of FL.
4. He lacks appeal for millions of New Englanders and NY that live in FL.
5. Florida has more EV than 7-8 other states combined-ya gotta win it.
Nationwide he has no crossover appeal for Independents or Democrats to swing PA or OH or VA. Name a VA county that he won. The Republican party needs the Indie votes and Dem votes to overcome the opposition we face.
Ted is left in the roll of spoiler, with an unknown promised reward. And you can bet if the GOP props him up that the DNC and Wasserman-Schultz will attack him with lawsuits due to his lack of eligibility. But don’t let me dissuade you from voting your conscious. The FR Boss-JR speaks the truth.

“Cruz lost the primary vote and is now aiding and abetting the enemy (the GOPe) in their treasonous attempt to deny the nomination to the winner.
Cruz is a sore loser turned traitor against the grassroots voters. And the foolish neophyte thinks the GOPe is going to let him have a shot at the presidency if he helps them block Trump? Laughable if it wasn’t so serious.”
...”Cruz is now aiding and abetting the enemy (the GOPe) in their treasonous attempt to deny the nomination to Trump”....
No......Cruz is out to ‘win’ delegates for convention.....(or did you miss those stories)....which includes the delegates Trump ignores.....Of which Cruz expects to win on the second ballet.
You still do not understand the second tier of this race I see. However what you do understand is that the race is still on...Trump does not have the required delegate number to claim the nominee......and if he doesn’t reach the magic number then it’s on to convention, ....so until a nominee has won...race is on!!!
That was a good summary, but Cruz’ Ohio tally bears mentioning. His 13 percent total was just pathetic. His problem is that Ohio lets people vote, and it’s not a caucus, where it’s so easy to cheat.
The bottom is falling out for Cruz. No matter how much his most ardent supporters defend CO, the average voter doesn’t like it. Cruz is tanking in the polls.
Been saying for some time that there is now way cruz could ever win my state of FL and FL is a must win state.
cruz would be a major disaster in the general and then add VA too. He would be toast.
oh and well said.
