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.

Yes, I believe there was one who survived.

Sam Houston did not want them to fight at the Alamo.

True. So Cruz’s campaign dies so that he can, what? Allow Yeb to beat Trump?
