I remind you that Trump didn’t win more than 50% anywhere until the bandwagon effect began to take effect. In NY State Trump only got two/thirds as many votes in his primary as Bernie did in his and and Hillary got twice as much.

I remind you Trump received a higher percent of the vote in Florida than Cruz did in his HOME STATE. And of course Trump wiped the floor with a sitting Senator favorite son in FL.
That's all fine and well, but I'm really comparing Cruz with Cruz, not Cruz with Trump.
In 2012, just 4 short years ago, Cruz managed to win almost 57% of Texans' votes in his primary runoff with Dewhurst, a fellow Texan who was the incumbent. (as you know, being a Texan.)
You would think that our fellow Texans would have picked our homeboy Cruz over "that Yankee, Donald Trump" in the recent primary. All I'm saying: If Cruz had his 2012 popularity when we voted in March, theoretically he should have buried Trump. He didn't. By the time the midterms roll around in 2018, assuming Cruz keeps yapping like he did on the radio here, Cruz would be lucky to be elected as Harris County dogcatcher.
From Wiki:
Republican runoff results
Ted Cruz - 631,316 votes for 56.8%
David Dewhurst - 480,165 votes for 43.2%
Just my opinion.
May I remind you that no one gives a cr@p, Cruz lost.
