Yes, because the opinion of voters in NC, GA and FL have any bearing on how he’s going to do in TX.... (rolling eyes). You don’t win a massive 551 electoral votes against probably the best field of GOP Primary candidates ever assembled if you are a “miserable not charismatic campaigner”. You just don’t. Don’t matter if it’s in NC,GA, FL or TX.
I expect Cruz to win when all is said and done, but I also expect that Cruz’s margin of victory will be far less than it should be.
The primaries are your friend. With Ted Cruz pulling in 300,000 more votes than all three Democratic Party candidates combined, and over TWICE as many votes as O’ Rourke did in the primaries, I think see the elections being that close at all. And the GOP race wasn’t even competitive (Ted Cruz got over 85% of the vote) so there really was no need for a high turnout.

Cruz getting 85% of the vote is nothing surprising, its a PRIMARY and he’s the incumbent for his party.
Speaking of Primaries.... lets look at the 2012 primaries.... shall we?
The Democratic primary in 2012 only attracted a total of less than 250k democrats bothered to vote.... 2018?? The Democrats put up over 1 Million votes... more than a 4 fold increase.
While republicans increased too, from about 1.1M to 1.5M, which is good for Cruz, it doesn’t equate to a cakewalk for him.
The sad reality in TX is, MOST PEOPLE DON’T VOTE! Turnout is sub 40%.... even in a presidential year... with that kind of turnout, and a far more motivated and organized D than R... the D definitely are likely to sneak out a win as long as the apathy of the right continues...
That said, I do expect Cruz to win, but I don’t think its going to be remotely by the margin it should be.
