No, it's not possible for the present Republican Party to win WA, OR, NM, IL, NJ, CT, or ME. Even MN, MI, WI, and NV are probably out of reach for Republicans this year.

Certainly not with Cruz or Trump. And Republicans wouldn't win NJ, NM, WA and NH, even if they nominated Abraham Lincoln.  

Reagan did it Twice.

Uh... yes? But those states have trended strongly Democratic since then. Alf Landon won Vermont and Michael Dukakis won West Virginia, does that mean those states will be competitive this year?

Cruz is almost as good a communicator as Reagan and with an even more brilliant legal mind.  If Cruz would take ideas of communication style from Reagan and JFK, he would pull Reagan 1984.

Reagan and JFK were also adored by the American population. Cruz is not. No way Cruz can win any states Obama won comfortably. He'd have a shot of some of the closer Obama states, but would be just as likely to lose a Romney state or two.
