Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is leading 2016 GOP presidential rival Donald Trump by 15 points in the senator’s home state, according to a poll released Thursday just days ahead of Super Tuesday.

Mr. Cruz was at 38 percent support among likely Republican primary voters in Texas, with Mr. Trump at 23 percent and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida at 21 percent, according to the survey from Monmouth University conducted from Monday to Wednesday.

Maybe border state Texas is realizing that Tricky Don's immigration and American jobs stances is just smoke, considering he loves H1-B's and outsourcing?

Praying those numbers hold, except switch Rubio's and Trump's numbers so he actually places 3rd.

Tonight's debate could solidify things, if Trump loses his cool again.    Ted Cruz was awesome on Megyn Kelly's town hall special last night, in which Trump was the only candidate not participating. Again afraid of Megyn?

He'd better be leading, it's his home state...check that--I meant Alberta, Canada's his home state.  :silly: 

Come on, Cruzers, take a joke.

Funny how this comes out exactly 1 week from the day the SC poll came out showing Cruz closing the gap on Trump in SC

So instead we should be voting for a Senator who wanted a 500% increase in H1-B visas? Check his own Senate website

http://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=137

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) today presented an amendment to the Gang of Eight immigration bill that would improve our nation’s legal immigration system by increasing high-skilled temporary worker visas, called H-1B visas, by 500 percent. The measure would effectively address the needs of our nation’s high-skilled workforce by helping meet the growing demand for workers in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. It will also make block grants available to states to promote STEM education efforts and increase domestic STEM professionals. The committee voted against the amendment 4 to 14 with every Democrat voting against it on a party-line vote.

So you agree then that it would be highly hypocritical of Tricky Don to criticize Cruz on the H1-B issue?

Nope, i point out how utterly hypocritical is is for Cruz supporter to attack Trump on this issue based on Cruz's prior actions. Unlike Cruz, Trump never lied to me and claimed he was "never for the H1-B visa expansion".

Nah, he just practiced it as his businesses and says something different on his campaign website.
