They've been working together in DC.  Of all the things I'm worried about, Cruz losing in Texas is not one of them.

Ted needs to be a little more vocal inhis support of Trump, Rand Paul is on board but Ted needs to speak up more....maybe he is but we're not hearing much of it.

He is, but it's as if the media has a reason for burying it. Would they do that? Why would the leftist media bury that news? :biggrin:

I also am not worried BUT, we do need someone to fire up the troops and get them off their butt and go vote! Only 40 % of republicans voted in Ohio???? What  the hell. President Trump, can fire up the voters

Do they don't have a closed primary?
Could it be that most of the base abandoned the GOP and went Independent? That would make that 40% negligible.

I always had the impression the strength of Cruz's opponent is overrated.

He is, polls for the last governor's race had Wendy Davis neck and neck with Greg Abbott. What I don't understand
about the Ohio race, did the republicans take that race for granted? Did they not know there was an election? I do not see how that many of them did not vote. If only 40% of the republicans turn out to vote here in Texas, and the dims keep finding ballot boxes to count, Cruz might just barely win too.
