In his last election for State Senator.....sorry I didn’t make that clear.......
Cruz’ last election was his first election as a US senator. Since then, he was in a primary race where he won Texas with less than 50% of the vote, a vote which was divided, and went to TRUMP in second place after Cruz, and to Rubio in third place (and in Rubio’s case too insignificant to warrant a single delegate).
What is important is watching Cruz and defeating the cur in his re-election. He intends to use it as a springboard, again, to mount another presidential campaign. In fact, he already is keeping his campaign apparatus for “prez” intact.
