The way our metro areas are moving, and since Cruz is not a real likeable politician anyway, I'd be very concerned if I were him. Every election in the last 6 or so years, every metro area in Texas - Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio have been trending blue. The only holdout in the group was Ft. Worth, who finally crossed over in this election, but the trend has been blue in DFW in general for the last 6 years.
Here's another note.....straight-ticket voting was all hunky-dory as long as the Republicans controlled Harris County and Dallas County. Until 2 years ago (4 in the case of Dallas), when they lost EVERY elected office in the county. The Republican legislature made straight-ticket voting illegal in the last session (they meet bi-annually).
I guess the lesson here is that rules are rules until you lose, then you change them. Is this what the party is doing on a national basis now?
