Cruz Says He’s More Electable Than Trump

Sen. Ted Cruz said that Donald Trump’s nomination would mean “bloodbath of Walter Mondale proportions—double digits everywhere” in a general election, Politico reports.

“Again and again, Cruz argued that it was Trump who would be the ‘disaster’ in a general election, and said that he had a plausible path to beating him in the primary, citing recent delegate wins and saying he would be in a strong position to win the nomination on a second ballot — a shift in emphasis for Cruz, who previously has made a point to stress his ability to win outright.”
