Trump logic. Bizarro world...

It's actually very meaningful considering the 50% threshold for delegates. Had Cruz reached the 50%, the delegate count would look significantly different.

“It’s actually very meaningful considering the 50% threshold for delegates. Had Cruz reached the 50%, the delegate count would look significantly different. “

And thankfully, he didn’t! Because in truth, Texas isn’t really “in love” with Teddy. It’s more in the nature of “going home at 2 with a “10,” and waking up at 10 with a “2!” Texas will vote Trump in the general election in a heartbeat.

Yep the 50% thresh hold is a big game changer.

3 per each of the 36 CDs, 50%+ gets all, otherwise allocated
47 based upon statewide performance, Majority wins all otherwise allocated

108 CD
047 Statewide
155 Total

It’s a little more detail than outlined above. Click the following link for details.

The Palin haters are over on another thread bashing Sarah Palin over the Alaska results:

Sarah Palin endorsement fails as Ted Cruz beats Donald Trump to win Alaska

I made up a rejoinder headline:

Ted Cruz endorsement fails as Ted Cruz fails to win more than 50% of the vote in Texas
