Cruz’s campaign died in SC.
If Cruz couldn’t win the SC primary, how will he win the GOP primary in:
Pennsylvania,
Maryland,
Massachusetts,
Indiana,
Illinois,
Wisconsin,
Washington,
Oregon
You can’t win the GOP primary only winning the Bible belt, you have to win primaries in the Northeast, Northwest, and the rust belt to secure enough delegates.
Cruz’s only hope was to dominate early (Iowa, SC, & Super Tuesday) to the point that it cleared the field and allowed him to cruise through later states largely uncontested. He didn’t do that, hence his campaign is done.
His supporters know that (in their gut at least) which is why you are seeing Cruz drop in the polls as he supporters reassess and move on to other candidates.
It’s down Trump and Rubio at this point. Everyone else is now in the zombie category—dead, but haven’t stopped moving yet.
ted and his campaign was all wrong. He thought if he got evangelicals out then it would give him the white house when clearly there are not enough evangelicals in the country.
I was looking forward to voting for him, but it seems as the days go by he would be more suited to the SCOTUS where he can have an a help in the country for at least a generation.
