How would Ted Cruz be doing now? (My guess is better)

[Young Conservative]

My prediction: Cruz does better in states not voting for Clinton. He does better because he's intelligent, always opposed to Trump, never gaffes (he's too smart), has a smart wife, would've have an intelligent attack dog VP who's beloved by Conservatives, and wouldn't have made terrible comments against heroic families and people in general. Iowa was already trending R, if it was anyone but Trump it would be leaning R. (and Cruz is a good fit for the educated and family centered midwest, along with Rubio).

It would be a tied race right now and what Cruz lacks in appeal to moderate swing state voters he can make up for I what would've been the best republican get out the vote operation we have seen. While he's probably gonna be seen as too conservative, he can make up for that by making Hillary look too out of touch and too much of the same thing without looking crazy or unhinged. With Cruz, I think it would be a very close election that probably uses something akin to a 2004 bush strategy.
