Cruz just alienated a lot of folks with his antics in 2016.
==========================

Failing to endorse Trump at the convention after he won the nomination was his 1st big mistake. He's made others.

BTW I drove through Texas last Spring twice on a trip out to Vegas from FL. What I saw off of I-10 reminded me more of Mexico than the USA. Texas is about 2 taco-eaters away from going blue, FL is next.

TX isn’t about to go blue... but what it is, is sorely in need of the majority down there to wake up and stop taking GOP wins as a given...

Yes, it has HUGE Blue around the metro.. but its VASTLY outnumbered by the rest of the state.. but unfortunately the rest of the state is so in a slumber, that low turnouts can definitely cause upsets...

The percentage of eligible voters who vote in TX is insanely low... with 25 Million folks over 18, only about 9 Million voted... Compare that to PA for example with about 9.5 Million over 18 and about 6 Million voted.

66% for PA vs not even 40% in TX... those kind of turnout numbers, mean D’s definitely can push a win while not remotely being a majority... TX better wake up.
