>> Cruz didn’t win, and Trump nor Rubio lost. It was a tie. And I see this as very reflective of the current state of the GOP. <<

Uh, yeah. That is the lamest spin ever. He didn’t win the war, but he sure as hell won the battle. Cruz won by 8,000 votes. And now leads in the delegate count. And proved he could withstand the worst sh!+storm flung at him in any primary contest ever. And is now THE alternative to a candidate with the highest disapproval ratings ever recorded in the history of presidential polling.

I am a Cruz supporter.

He got one extra delegate. All the “votes” don’t count towards the nomination, only delegates. One more delegate out of the 1,200+ needed for the nomination.

Trump got 7 delegates, Rubio got 7 delegates,

For Cruz it was a slightly favorable TIE.

Hyperbole much?

Seriously, though, what are you comparing this to? There have been many, many contests in the past. This one is mild compared to the Adams-Jefferson battles of the campaign of 1796!
