Based on the rules for assigning delegates, if Cruz does not get at least 50% of the vote he is finished. And thanks to your posting, we can see he is not even close. LOL!

Be careful of creating high expectations. If Cruz does not win by 15% or higher, is it a loss?

No freaking way. Trump has Texas in the bag. He’s going to be in Fort Worth on Friday, I may go. Hubby already has tickets.

“Cruz leads Trump by double digits in Texas poll”

not exactly. here’s a composite poll average of several polls which are probably just a wee bit more accurate than the Houston Public Media and the University of Houston Hobby Center for Public Policy; it has Cruz ahead by 8:

besides, Texas is a proportional GOP delegate allocation state.

Means nothing since it isn’t a winner take all, the real test is Florida if Trump wins Florida the fat lady comes on stage and begins her performance..

Cruz will luz.

Take a look at the guy. He's a luzer.

Cruz will never be President. He's just not likeable.

He might be a Supreme Court Justice however...if Trump appoints him.

Yeah, that's a MAJOR poll! Maybe you can find another NBC/WSJ poll that has him in the lead too.

Trump says ‘You’ve convinced me’

By which he meant, “You’ve convinced me you all need to be deported!”

I looked at the Cruz campaign schedule.
Almost all the events leading up to ST are in Texas.
Obviously he’s a “lock” there.

What about the other 12 states?

He can fill all the seats he wants, sometimes his rambling stadium-sized pep-talks work, and sometimes they don’t. They didn’t work in Iowa, and they are not going to work in Texas, because Texas is going to join Ted Cruz in kicking the Donald’s butt all the way back to New York City!

According to Real Clear Politics the latest Emerson poll has Trump within 1 point of Cruz in Texas.

To me Real Clear Politics tends to be correct. Here is the link. Look at the date of the latest poll.

When the Big Money and Chamber of Global Commerce talks and says we need more cheap labor and more H1Bs, both Cruz and Rubio will roll over, bark woof woof, and beg on all fours for another biscuit. The only thing they know since they don’t have billions of their own, is how to play puppet boy to the donors and globalists.

Considering Cruz's new strategy is to begin the insult campaign against Trump as his last resort, it doesn't seem he has a solid plan to win many of the states on Super Tuesday.

It would be preferable to have a 2 man race with Cruz so the talking heads and GOPe will go bat crap crazy, but it looks like Rubio will hold that spot.

It is really amazing that Cruz is doing so poorly.
