Er, does Cruz know what happened at the Alamo? I presume he doesn’t think he’s Santa Anna.

I don’t think any Canadians survived the Alamo.

LOL!

To fair, though, I'm not sure Canadians are up on American history.

The survival rate was extremely low for the “Texians” who were defending the Alamo. Their sacrifice did make a rallying cry for the rest of the campaign against Santa Anna, though.

The political commentator made the analogy. Cruz, being a Texan, might be supposed to know about the Alamo. To stick with the Alamo analogy, yesterday was the Alamo, and Indiana will be San Jacinto, from a Cruz perspective.

ANOTHER ANALOGY:

WWII:
Florida - Normandy
Arizona - Breakout at St. Lo
Utah through Wisconsin - first part of the Battle of the Bulge
New York - Bastogne
yesterday - allied advance into Germany

I wondered reading the article if he was real aware of Texas history. Bad analogy I think.

He does like to bring Teddy Bears to illegals.
