The only state favorable to Cruz in the near term with a true primary/caucus is Utah.
Cruz will lose in Arizona. He is trailing in Wisconsin (April 5) and New York (April 19). The April 26 primaries are all Northeast (CT, DE, MD, PA, RI). Indiana is maybe his next realistic possibility on May 3 or Nebraska on May 10.
More likely than not, he’s looking at being shut out in April. That’s a long way between winning in political terms.
Colorado has a convention on April 9, but I don’t think the delegates are technically bound. Wyoming finishes its process on April 16 where 14 of the 17 delegates may be bound. Neither will grab the headlines of primaries where people go to the polls.
It was Nerve racking at best, but unavoidable if I wish to keep my eyesight. Now I have to wait and see if it works. The Doctor did all he could, now it is in the hands of the One who made lame beggers walk and blind men see. Thanks for your concern.
Not winning any state at this stage of the campaign is very bad and doesn't bode well for Cruz's future.
It is ironic in that he did better in MO than would have been expected, vote wise, but because of how it broke down in the districts, he is getting 5 or 10 less than was expected.
Actually, MO was supposed to be Cruz's best state and it was but he still came up short. At the time of writing, it looks very likely that Trump will win there, although there are still some outstanding ballots. NC was average, but IL and FL (bigger states) were essentially blowouts for Trump. The Trumpmentum from this only serves to advance the perception that Trump is unstoppable.
