Finally, after a lot of searching and a lot of complicated charts that weren’t exactly correct it appears that the Texas Delegates ended up totaling 115 for Cruz and 40 for Trump. If my math is correct that means that Super Tuesday was essentially a tie with a difference between Cruz and Trump of only 14 delegates. So while Trump racked up a bunch of states Cruz racked up a bunch of delegates. Which strategy is smarter? For Cruz it seems that this worked out pretty well especially when the polls had Trump winning both Oklahoma and Alaska.
Now that Carson is out of the race and Rubio is on his last legs and his numbers will in all likelihood begin to fall precipitously, Cruz will have a more open field in which to operate. The question is will it translate to votes which ultimately translates to delegates?
The current delegate count with the new Texas figures included would seem to be Trump at 321 and Cruz at 242 or a difference of 79 delegates. Over the next two weeks there are over 700 delegates at stake which tells us that this is still anybody’s race. The problem for Trump is that as the race narrows the conservative vote which has been split among Carson, Rubio and Cruz is going to begin tilting more toward Cruz.

That sounds pretty straight forward to me.
That site seemed really iffy to me.
Is it one you’re familiar with?
Yep, only believe the polls that you like.....
It will be interesting for sure.
As I said, if Rubio stays in it will be over. Trump has yet to get enough of the vote in any state to claim he can do it all the way.
Cruz gets 2 of 3, which is all he needs.
I don’t believe ANY polls.
If you didn’t learn your lesson what BS polls are from the last election then you can’t be helped.
Cruz 2016
As you see, I gave the details this guy does not show any.... First I’ve ever seen of this website.
Trump lost Minnesota, no doubt because they lived through the Jesse Ventura debacle. California had Ahhnold. We’ve had enough of fake conservatives. Cruz will win California.
That’s true, and he tips his “credibility” hand by telegraphing he may not have calculated correctly.
“If I calculated correctly...”
Well, shouldn’t you know that before publishing?
It’s over now. You just aren’t aware of it.
That won’t happen.
Do you think very conservative people back Rubio? Kasich?
Fudge it to excite Cruzers. ;)
Yup
No he was talking about his calculations on the total delegates for the whole primary not for Super Tuesday.
He is correct on Super Tuesdays numbers.
Cruz is a fraud. Cruz is in this race to become rich.Trump is in this to save America .Trump
is already rich .
1.If we don’t stop the invasion of socialist illegal immigrants then the USA is over in a few years.
Cruz has done nothing to stop the invasion of socialist illegals into the U.S.A. that will vote to turn the U.S.A. socialist. Cruz is a fraud.
This web page shows how all of Cruz’s flip flops on trade and immigration prove he is a fraud and is for open borders.
Only Trump will build the wall that will stop the illegals’ invasion of the usa
2.In 4 years as Senator Cruz has tried to pass no good laws that help America but only the worst laws ever TPA TPP(Trojan horse for Obama immigration agenda) and the corker bill .
Cruz voted for the Corker bill which allows Iran to build nuclear weapons.
“It’s over now. You just aren’t aware of it.”
Came close to being gone now:

About 20 or so more delegates for Trump than Cruz. The media called Trump big winner he wasn’t. AK and OK polls were way over weighted for Trump, for OK about 18 points difference in poll and actual vote. Cruz raised about $12 million dollars in February - average donation $52.00.
This is why Bernie needs to stay strong. Else a whole bunch of Dems will cross over to vote for Trump because they think he is the best bet to poison the well for the Republicans in the general election.
Just like they did for McCain. heheh.
