Cruz lacks charisma and his other problem was he sought many of the same voters Santorum and Huckabee targeted. As it turned out, they didn’t vote for him in the numbers he hoped for and he made no effort to expand his base of support. Which is why he is mired in 3rd place.
Another problem Ted inflicted on himself, was the idea he was losing states because folks who lived in them were heathen and whacked out Leftists.

If you’re a Christian and Ted has just said the state has very few Christians, are you going to vote for him?
He pulled this routine in New Hampshire, and when things started looking bad in South Carolina, his team started using that type of talk there too.

Some people have been saying that most big cities in Texas are very Liberal areas.

You don’t freeze them in a negative position. You seek to move them from that position.
