They all need to be closed primaries. Stop all of this cross over voters deciding elections. If you can’t be a member for say a year or so you shouldn’t be voting.
I would expect Cruz to take Texas...
but he may not...
after all its not a caucus...
You are comparing apples to oranges. A caucus is different - they try to steal each other’s supporters, and we don’t know who or how many went to any of the candidates. However, it was still a dirty trick that the Cruz campaign pulled and NOTHING will erase that!
Agree. The most delegates wins. Texas has 155.
Yep. It’s called hardball politics. “Cheating” would involve violating rules. Which wasn’t done...unless there’s been some sanction of which I’m not aware.

I think Cruz takes TX by as much as 10%.
I think Rubio loses FL by well over 15%.
Except that would be a big fat fib. If I elect someone, I expect him to show up for work. Look at Ted's record. If I have to work....so does Ted.
So Mr. Pollster...Texas expects absolute loyalty and Texans want good report cards, too but I'm not stupid and will vote Trump ;-)
You are being too generous with Rubio. He is going to lose FL by a landslide.
I think you were fooled. Cruz will support catel member Rubio. His early primary rhetoric was apparently just that
Boy, Cruz doing well in his home state, wow, but nowhere else. I wouldn’t be surprised if the TX polls are swamped with new voters, and Trump wins.
Even if Cruz wins TX, he still has to carry at least 2 other states to remain a viable candidate. Rubio has the exact same problem.
Cruz needs 50.1% to claim all 155 delegates if I’m not mistaken. I pray he does.
Just as long as Cruz does not reach 50% the delegates will be divided up.
All the polls aren’t wrong. Cruz is winning Texas. Hopefully Trump keeps it close though. Maybe Sessions endorsement could even help a bit
Well, my “well over 15%” means probably like a 20-25% loss.
Wow! That is a firm prediction based on nothing but air. So, if Trump doesn’t “cream Cruz in Texas” will you promise to go away?
Cruz needs to win at least one more state so that he doesn't have to keep referring back to Iowa (which is now ancient history). Might as well at least win his own home state.
So you would say Clintonesque Type politics?
Thank God for Carson and Kasich, then.
Voted early for Cruz.
At least in my little corner of Texas, if yard signs and bumper stickers are a indicator there are about 3 X more Cruz stickers/signs than Trumps.
Then there is my neighbor who in put up a Sanders sign just to get me riled up.
Uh, that’s what competitors do to each other in races.
