In the home state of Texas, Gov. Bush got 87.54% of the Republican primary vote in 2000 while Sen. Cruz only got 43.8 % this year.
In which future state do you think a future Cruz landslide will materialize ? We already saw a Mormon caucus so we know all about that.
Bush had won 25 states by then, McCain only 7. Bush had the nomination sewn up by then, well beyond being a frontrunner.
Trump had won the last 3 out of 4 states before Texas this time. Cruz went up against and conquered the frontrunner there.
