Yeah. Cruz will probably do better in Texas than Trump did in SC.
If Cruz can get all of the delegates, which is unlikely but still possible, it puts him in the running for the nomination. It would be a grand slam.
If he finishes first but does not get all of the of the delegates, it is still a base hitter. Keeps him in the game.
You think Cruz will win Texas by more than 10 points? Recent polling indicates a 5 point gap within the MOE, and the gap is narrowing.
I would expect Ted to be doing better on his home turf.
