You don’t know a thing about Texas.

I couldn’t begin to guess why Cruz disappoints you. I think he is a solid Constitutional Conservative.

That’s dangerous territory for any GOP attack. It’s best to let the left handle that, and they would.

fwiw, I support Trump, not Cruz.

>> Sen. Ted Cruz’s victory in his home state of Texas, dubbed huge by many in the media, was the worst showing by a Republican candidate in a home state since 1913, according to a new analysis. <<

The most outrageous nonsense out of Trump’s lie factory yet. Since when did Rick Santorum win Pennsylvania?

What’s odd is that Texas was contested. Usually, a nationally leading candidate doesn’t bother contesting a challenger’s home state because it’s not worth the money to win a marginal number of delegates. Texas has a unique primary law which turns it into a winner-take-all if and only if the winner beats 50%. For this reason, Trump fought tooth-and-nail to keep Cruz under 50%.

>> Trump so far has all the key regions and states if you look at the 1988 to 2012 GOP primaries. <<

I see the Old South and New England for Trump. Cruz has topped him in Minnesota, Texas, Maine, Alaska (as well as Oklahoma and Iowa.)

I worked the polls and we had a steady stream of people. About 24 of them came back up to our table wondering where the democrats were on the ballot.

Thank you for your kind compliment about my profile page. :)
