The overwhelming turnout for this event is more about support for Trump than it is for Cruz, but it is also a form of protest from those who feel silenced by the mob.
I am visiting my son in Houston right now and have seen far more Cruz signs in all the areas weve traveled through while shopping and eating out, as well as the neighborhoods weve driven through. A California surfer-type even told me he liked my Veto Beto bumper sticker when we were refueling.
