When one is on "probation" it is always a good philosophy to not complain.
As for the thread topic .... I did some cursory "bean counting" (no pun intended) regarding Cruz's Senate race and the Presidential primary in Texas. (Caveat: I have not done a comparison of other States, but consider Texas the best for an evaluation on Cruz.) My tentative conclusion from the cursory look:
A high voter turn out does not favor Cruz. That's how he "won" the 2012 Republican Senate runoff. Low turnout.
If he doesn't know that, then someone is lying to him or he's lying to himself.
In addition the Rio Grande Valley (HIGH Hispanic voting) into El Paso went for the Democrat in 2012.
That's in his own State. He ended up this cycle with less than the majority, which means by his own talk that the majority of the Republicans voting for him didn't want him to be the Presidential candidate. He only got about 56% of the total vote in 2012 for the U.S. Senate. He's got problems in Texas.
