Clinton was heavily favored to win Texas — though it was expected to be closer than the . The state's Democratic electorate is dominated by black voters, who supported Clinton overwhelmingly in Nevada and South Carolina, and Latino voters who have also favored Clinton (albeit by slimmer margins). She was ahead by 30 points in pre-primary polling, and the Sanders campaign didn't put as much energy into campaigning there as it did in some of the other states up for grabs today.

Just to see the GOP Implode. Cruz is a very dangerous sociopath and religious fanatic, a very bad combination.

Cruz is 100 times worse than Trump and I would have loved to see him humiliated by losing his home state.

They created this monster, now they can't "kill" it. I am just upset that so many people are voting for this racist/fascist.

Agree on Cruz.

Another state that will NEVER vote for her in the primaries from the deep South.
Glad to get another one of these backwaters out of the way!
