“What are Texans thinking lately?”

I’m in Texas. I don’t talk to all that many people about politics on a regular basis, but I do listen to Dallas-Ft Worth talk radio every weekday.

Around the time it became clear that Ted was struggling in the primary, the Cruz supporters clogged the phone lines to the local talk shows. They were angry, defiant, and decidedly NeverTrump.

After Ted was mathematically eliminated, they got even louder, but you also began hearing more pro-Trump callers getting through.

As the weeks rolled on, you could hear a softening occuring with many of the callers who still supported Ted. This is about the same time I began noticing callers who’d recently switched from Cruz to Trump.

I guess that some time within the last two months, the calls have become almost universally pro-Trump, with little, if any, open support for Cruz being voiced.

Cruzites are cultists.

Drink the Kool-aid.
