The Republican race is such a lopsided win for Trump that it’s ludicrous to suggest otherwise. In Texas, Cruz won only 44% of his home state/s vote.....not even enough to get all the delegates. Trump won a chunk of Texas delegates.
Team Cruz ferreted out victories in a few caucus states known for oddball and malleable vote counting methods. For example, Cruz won in places that are not conducive to jump-starting his losing campaign, places none cares about:
Virgin Islands by 30 votes
Wyoming by 480 votes
Alaska by 600 votes
Maine by 2,500.
Here are the rounded total votes Cruz won in his 8 states.
Virgin Isl 200 people
Wyoming 620 people
Alaska 8,400
Maine 8,500
Kansas 35,000
Iowa 52,000
Utah 122,000
Okie 158,000
SUMMING UP Cruz bet a bundle on the south, then lost badly. It is doubtful Cruz can bring his (cough) “current winning streak” to the east. Ted won 8 states totaling a measly 385,000 votes.
By contrast, Trump won some 15 states w/ an astounding 1,350,000 votes, so far.
