How did Lyin’ Ted do in his home state? If I remember correctly he couldn’t even get over 50%.

It's a lot easier for moderate/liberal successful businessman to appeal to Texas voters than it is for Social conservative Christian Senator to appeal to New Yorkers.

Trump is a good candidate for Texas voters, while Cruz is not at all a good candidate for New York voters.

There is no higher significance to it than that. Trump will do quite well among Liberal New York voters. That doesn't mean he is the best pick to enact a conservative agenda.
