I wonder if the meltdown of his campaign after the necessity of firing his campaign chair will still be hurting just a little more than a week on 1 March, the SEC primary in which TEXAS will be voting.

That doesn’t sound confident

If Ted Cruz doesn’t win Texas, it’s all over for him.

If Trump carries Texas, Cruz should withdraw, pledge his support to Trump and Trump should declare that Cruz will be his pick for the SCOTUS.

Texas will be close. Very close.

Rubio might be a spoiler for Cruz.

He certainly wont take any votes from Trump.

Texas’ rules make it an unrewarding primary for delegates to boot.

All I know is I’ve received two emails....on private email accounts....from CRuz, today, pleading to help make phone bank calls from the GOP offices. Hubby has received the same email, on a private email account.

Trump has sent one message, several weeks ago....to the email addy I gave him when I donated....to make calls from the comfort of my home.

Wonder what the early voting turnout has been, in TX, for Pubbies.

I think Cruz was showing a respectable sense of humility that the voters, not politicians will decided Texas. I don’t think this suggest any doubt on his part just a smart sense of humility.

Wait, an infamous “INTERNAL POLL!” Are all the Cruzers going to cite this in every thread the way they did the bogus SC “internal poll?”

Just making a point. I still think Cruz wins his home state.

Granted, it is anecdotal info, but friends & family in Texas are NOT for Cruz, even though they were for him when he ran for the Senate seat.

So from what little I know, yes, Cruz IS in trouble in Texas.

I find it hard to even care anymore. I have realized again that regardless of which R wins the Congress is still uni-party and will do nothing. Status quo.

I’m for Trump, but have always liked Cruz
(except when he said: “I dint know I was Canadian till 15 months ago” ... that sounded deceitful).

In any event, I was taken aback by how ‘nasty’ his campaign advertisements had become, (I didn’t think Trump was right when he said he was “nasty”) so it seems it became a self fulfilling prophecy.

I don’t know how much of that was due to Rick Tyler.
But I am glad Cruz fired him this morning.

Hopefully Cruz can regain his composure, run a positive campaign, or at least a negative campaign based on policy differences (not on stuff that happened 17 years ago).

I want the rift to heal, I want Cruz in the Trump administration, I want Cruz to help defeat GOPe Rubio. And if worst comes to worst I want him as president.

I hope he chooses a good new campaign manager

No wonder Ted Cruz has lost a little bit of confidence on winning Texas. I wish him well

Reagan fired his campaign chair, John Sears, after he lost Iowa to George the Elder in 1980. It helped him a lot, and he won big in New Hampshire.

I think Cruz will win Texas. Every single person I know is voting for Cruz in this state. And right down the line, they despise Trump. The local talk radio show callers also seem to be heavily in favor of Cruz. We’ll see..

Trump will win 40 states and Cruz will win 10 states. Rubio wins none.

>despite the electorate being nearly 7 in 10 evangelical Christians

This America we are voting for. The Constitution has no edict of piety to any one religion. Follow the Constitution and keep the personal beliefs personal. Harm none that harm you not. Keep collateral damage to a minimum.

**Worth noting, an internal campaign poll leaked to PPD last week showed Cruz trailing the national frontrunner in The Lone Star State by single digits.**

Hmmm
