Winning your home state isn’t a home run.
It’s a cleanly fielded play. It’s expected.
Ahh. no it wasn’t. You want me to show the posts and comments from Monday that showed how 99% thought Trump would win or maybe tie at worse.
I’m sure if I looked I could possibly see even you commenting on how Ted may lose to Trump in Texas, and have to drop out.

Whenever Cruz has a certain measure of success there are always whiners around to explain why it was not really a success. Not sure how the success of the most conservative candidate in the race is a bad thing to a conservative, even if he is not your preferred candidate.
I said the same thing about Texas that I said about other states. If Cruz made less than 30%, it would have been a strike. 30-40% is a base hitter. More than 40% is a home run. With a crowded field, his percentage was impressive.
Rubio being in the game kept Cruz from winning all the delegates in Texas. Rubio syphoned off enough conservative and evangelical voters from Cruz to do a lot of damage in the early states.
Clinton does not have to split Democratic support among multiple candidates. So even with a small turnout, she wins big. But the turnout is very high among Cruz and Trump supporters.
