interesting point made on fox business network this morning:
except cruz’ home state of texas, all of his (cruz) wins have come in states where voting is restricted to registered republican voters only.
bodes well for trump in a national election.

So you actually think Trump can win states like California, New York, Massachusetts or New Jersey in the general election?

I think you need to rethink your last sentence. You have it backwards.

It means Cruz is CARRYING the Republican base more than Trump is.

When it gets down to relying for Republican votes in the General, they will not be there. Rutttt Rohhhwww

The reasoning for Texas was that it was his home State and it had a huge crossover from the Valley area which would have normally voted Democrat. If you look at the Texas map it was all RED on the primary voting and not BLUE this year in the Valley or S Texas area. Open primaries give you these results

As it should be. Why on Earth would we want Democrats selecting our candidate? You know they would vote for the weakest candidate. We used to call this "pinging" back when I was a Democrat. We did it all the time at the local level.

Yes, Cruz does much better in closed primaries and caucuses (caucii?). Remember when the GOP said they need to extend the tent and attract disenfranchised Dems and Indies?
