More likely quite a few democrats are voting for Cruz if they vote at all since the SC democrat machine believes Cruz would be the easiest guy to beat in the general election.

Or, so say my friends and relatives in SC who have been involved in election campaigns for several decades and keep a close watch on what the democrat machine there tells the faithful.

YMMV, etc.

Democrat voting in SC down by a third! They are staying home, or mischievously voting in the Repub primary. It wouldn't take many--if just 10% of the third voted Rubio, you'd get results like we got.

The Establishment is now thinking seriously about supporting Hillary. I'm not joking--remember Mississippi. They'll do anything to avoid an insurgent outsider like Trump or Cruz. An outsider threatens the establishment's existence, but they can do business with Hillary.

There is no real Democrat machine in SC. Harpootlian works hand in glove with the Establishment.
