Cruz really is pretty much irrelevant statistically. If one looks at his “wins” at votes received and favorability polling he just is so obviously a weak candidate. It is the media and Cruz campaign providing the illusion that he can win. The strategy (and it is a long shot) is to deprive Trump the nomination...no one can legitimately beat him. Wow, how low self esteem his supporters must have to be working against democracy.
I like your words - Cruz is irrelevant statistically.
This has been a charade of a primary election. The race is such a lopsided win for Trump that it’s ludicrous to suggest otherwise. We are stuck with a non-winner trying to steal delegates from a winner that’s way out in front on so many levels and issues.
Team Cruz is good at weaseling wins in small caucus states known for their oddball vote counting methods and lack of exit polling.
Cruz won:
Virgin Islands by 30 votes
Wyoming by 480 votes
Alaska by 600 votes

If it wasn’t for Texas, he’d have a pile of beans.
Ted’s lackluster Texas win, Texas 1,239,393.

Trump won 21 states with 6,020,000 votes. He has a total of 7,897,990 votes and 755 delegates. Thats 290 more than Ted.
Cruz’s only way to prevail now is by pure chicanery, just how he began this campaign. It is impossible now for him to have a clean delegate win.
Sean Hannity’d new favorite “front runner” and “outsider” has won 8 small caucus states, his adopted home state of Texas with 53% of the vote, and little Texas, also called Oklahoma where he barely beat Trump. He has been summarily destroyed all over the country in 21 states won by the real front runner who’s name is Donald Trump, especially in the South, where other than Texas he was shut-out! If Trump had the same numbers as Cruz would anyone be calling him a serious candidate? Not hardly.
