Cruz couldn’t even get 50% in his “home state” (43.8%). Trump got 27 point something and Cruz failed to shut him down.
So? Cruz clobbered Trump by nearly 2 to 1 in Texas. Cruz got more votes in lowly Wisconsin (population 5.8 million) than Trump got in his home state of New York (population 19.7 million) in elections only a few days apart. Cruz will easily ‘cruz’ to reelection in Texas.
Trump got a higher percent of the vote in Florida than Cruz did in his home state. Cruz is just an awful national candidate.
