New Poll actually has Cruz beating Trump by 13 in Texas

http://www.wsj.com/articles/super-tuesday-poll-shows-donald-trump-leads-in-tennessee-georgia-cruz-ahead-in-texas-1456668181

39-26 with Rubio at 16. Of course it's Cruz's home state so he needs to win. Still if he wins Texas he will be able to claim that he is the only candidate to beat Trump in two states--Iowa and Texas. Media & establishment darling Marco Rubio will probably come out of Super Tuesday with no wins. Polls in his home state of Florida show Rubio well behind Trump. Kasich has vowed to withdraw from the race if he loses Ohio. Will Marco withdraw if he loses Florida? Probably not.

Cruz being embarrassed with a loss in his home state? Those would be some sweet sweet tears!

rubio won't drop out until, like jeb!, the money guys see him as a lost cause. They'll probably stick with him thinking that trump and cruz will not have enough delegates to win outright, so rubes could become the convention's eventual pick.
