SEC-wide:

Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma all have higher proportions of evangelicals than Iowa. That bodes well for Ted Cruz. (Washington Post)

Texas:

The University of Houston will host a Feb. 25 GOP president debate, televised by CNN. The host and broadcaster had been in flux, and the event was moved back one day. (Texas Tribune)

The mother of Sandra Bland, a Texas woman who died in police custody in a case that made national headlines, will campaign with Hillary Clinton in Chicago. (Associated Press)

Cruz cheated in Iowa.

If you thought New Hamshire was friendly to Trump, then check out all polls in South Carolina. He has a the same and possibly bigger a bigger lead in South Carolina.

Trump has the momentum out of New Hamshire while Cruz is viewed as a cheater and plays dirty tricks.

That’s why Cruz came in 3rd in New Hamshire.

The “zealots” you say? Are you sure you’re on the right website?

In case you haven't noticed, the average person in the US would not consider the average FR poster to be a "moderate". We are a BIT to the right of average here.

Yes, we are zealots here. And proud of it too.

A candidate who appeals primarily to the kind of people who post on FR will not necessarily appeal to everybody.

The only poll I have seen where Ted was ahead in the South was in Texas and only 5 points at that. Dream on.

We’re not electing the Pope, we’re electing the president who is supposed to manage the business known as the Federal government.

By the time they get to Texas I bet Trump wins over Cruz.

By then Cruz will be substantially behind, and as a person who spent 3 years living in Texas, loved it bye the way, I can’t see Texans throwing their vote away. Texans like winners, they don’t like liars, and they despise Cheats.

Texans say Don’t mess with Texas, so they will like Trump who stood up to Fox, raised $6 million from the vets and won NH. by 21%, showed Fox you can’t demean him.
Also, Trump just settled with Univision who screwed with his Beauty pageant. Trump must have made them pay up thru the nose.

We want a smart tough President. Cruz won’t even state he wants waterboarding.

“Dumb southern stereotype demand that OF COURSE they will vote for him! Since when do people in the south ever have a mind of their own!”

My my, sounds as if you are quite the little bigot. You get your ignorant, uneducated ideas about the South from the media and yet you accuse Southerners of not having a “mind of our own”.

Sounds like you are ignorant sheep without a mind of your own.

“My my, sounds as if you are quite the little bigot.”

My, my, condescending twit, it sounds like sarcasm is a concept too advance for you to understand.

If you were being sarcastic then I apologize for my post. You have to admit that sometimes it’s hard to detect sarcasm on the internet.

Oh it’s OK.

Everyone is a bit on edge today. I really should have been more clear.
