Baloney, sheer baloney. In 2010 Republicans won four seats held by retiring Democrats and Republicans defeated two incumbent Democrats, for a total gain of six seats. This was the largest number of Republicans gains since the 1994 elections. McCain nor Romney were hobbled by Cruz. They were losers because they didn't offer anything much different than the Democrats. What's to inspire voters who are clearly fed up with broken promises when you offer them Democrat-lite candidates. The voters because the GOP rallied around their establishment darlings (whom the media helped pick the losers) and who love big government as much as any Democrat and are arrogant enough to think they can do the same only better . And thanks to the Republican leadership in the House and Senate, looks like the Democrats got it all.
And just by looking at your list of states you claim were loses due to Cruz is Missouri where Clare Mccaskill's seat was being challenged by Todd Akin. Cruz had nothing to do with Akin getting hoodwinked by the media and stepped in it so deep he became toxic.
I'm really disappointed in you because this is a very dishonest post.
Akin should never have been the nominee. He won via a Dem-Tea Party alliance. McCaskill's people worked to help him.
