Kasich 9% Carson 4%. Hillary over Bernie 56-40% in the Feb 24 poll
Hmm.
Closer than I would have expected, at least for TX.

Does it really need to be said? If Cruz somehow manages to lose Texas it is all over for him. The same is true if Rubio loses Florida although that looks far more likely.
Texas polls are all over the place.
Trump will take Texas, the early voters I will bet went for Trump!!!
If the RCP poll averages are accurate, Rubio won’t meet the 20% threshold requirement and will receive ZERO delegates from Texas. Rubio is the one who ought to be really panicked about texas.
Yeah, and I’ll bet that they’ll continue to be.
It’s hotly contested and may or may not be a death knell for Cruz, so it’s what earns money to tell people more and more about it.
Cruz could win Texas by 49 percent and it won’t make a single solitary difference— it will still be all over...
Ha ha.

Ted needs to take off and leave Beck somewhere at a remote rest stop
Beck is fasting for Cruz. But Trump is faster. ;-)
I know that Trump has denied it, but I can’t help but wonder if someone on his team knew Beck was at the High School and suggested the location. It was just too perfect. Could it really have been by chance?
Everybody looked like they were watching a tour guide give their spiel. And then... Trump happened. LOL
Gots to think it was planned.
And perfectly executed.
Anecdotal, but I was an early voter who went for Cruz...
It/s not helping Cruz to be called liar at his public appearances. The Carson fiasco still reverberates followed by the Bible video debacle.
Cruz/s political blunders pile up ... one disaster after another. But there are similarities: Cruz is looking more and more like the late unlamented prez candidate, ex-Texas Gov Rick Perry---two stealth candidates trusting Texans hardly knew.
At first, Cruz (like Perry) looked good....prez material, even. Then candidate Cruz (like Perry) began admitting things that trusting Texans knew nothing about.
Gov Perry shocked his constituents when he admitted in a presidential debate that he was using trusting Texans tax dollars to give illegals in-state tuition...and that they were heartless b/c they did not like this use of tax dollars. (Perry also installed the country's first Sharia Court in Texas....active to this day).
Cruz heaped on the surprises:
<><> I didn't know I was a Canadian citizen when I ran for the Senate until the media exposed it.
<><> I told trusting Texas voters wifey and I were liquidating family assets so I could get into the Senate.
<><> I didn/t know I was supposed to tell the FEC I borrowed over a million from my Wall Street margin accounts to fund my campaign.
<><> I told Mark Levin the borrowed funds were used for campaign ads....but I didn/t report this as required.
<><> And so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
============================================
BACKSTORY In Texas, Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary......portraying himself to trusting Texans as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.
He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.
NOW TRUSTING TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from trusting Texans).
Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from trusting Texans.
At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn't know.
When the Dallas Morning News published Cruz/s Canadian birth certificate, Cruz put trusting Texans through the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.....even though Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at the time of his birth.
If Cruz doesn’t win TX hard to see how he plays anything but spoiler if he sticks around.
Advantage Cruz.
But Trump could still pull out a win here.
I am hopeful.
