Ted Cruz will provide no more help than Trump to Republicans in close senate races. It is probable the Republicans will lose a net of two seats no matter who the nominee is.

Cruz will not carry a state above the Ohio or the Potomac- at least Trump has a chance of getting some blue collar votes in those states- Cruz has none. Cruz will lose Virginia and Florida in the South. The Pacific states are lost, with the exception of Alaska. He can carry eight or nine small Mountain and Plains states , but Trump would carry the same states.

It is ridiculous for Cruz supporters to claim he can run a better race than Trump. The latest polling indicates they are both are in the same percentile against Hillary.

Cruz has shown no ability to expand the Republican base. A great many Trump supporters I have spoken to will simply sit out the election- and a lot of these are normally straight-ticket Republicans. Cruz is a dead end for Republicans.
