Cruz at this moment has the smallest win percentage in home state ever

Tell me again

Rubio will break it on March 16th but as of now Ted Cruz holds the record

Given the polling in the week running up to the election, he did better than many expected.

It is the largest percentage defeat of Trump so far this election...and it netted Cruz almost 100 of the delegates.

So, yes, he would have liked to have gotten over 50% and gotten all of those delegates...but given the year and the tremendous popularity of Trump...it was a good victory.

It was also a must have for Cruz....as is Florida for Rubio...as is Ohio for Kasich.

I believe Rubio is going to lose his home state...and lose it big.

And in Ohio, Kasich will either lose it (which appears likely)or if he wins it, it will most likely be by far smaller a vote percent than Cruz won Texas.

The irony would be though, that since it is a winner take all, he would get all of the delegates. Double irony would be, that even getting all of them will be quite a bit fewer than what Cruz won on Super Tuesday in Texas.
