A couple of articles on Cruz, basically saying that he is toast at this point. The first is from Politico, the second is from a RW blogger. I am including the second story mainly for its pretty amazing map of the SC results--virtually every county was won by Trump, with Cruz winning a couple of urban areas.

Cruz fires top staffer for promoting false story about Rubio and the Bible
The swift action comes as the Texas senator's rivals are increasingly branding him as a liar.

Ted Cruz Loses Every Single County In South Carolina Election – Including the Staunchly Evangelical Counties…
Posted on February 20, 2016 by sundance

In August of 2015, against considerable backlash, we stood firm on a fundamental position that Senator Ted Cruz did not have a pathway, a roadmap, to victory in the 2016 GOP presidential primary.

Despite the fundamentally sound reasoning for our prediction, which was entirely based on congressional district by district analytics, our position drew an immense amount of criticism and even a quick response from the Cruz campaign itself (Brian Phillips).

Unfortunately, tonight’s South Carolina results vindicate a massive amount of historical research. There simply is no pathway to victory when you rely almost exclusively on “ proselytizing as an electoral strategy“:

Not one county, and not a single delegate

It’s not personal, it is simply a factual reality. The Ted Cruz Road Map is non-existent; and beyond the SEC primary states there is little to no organization at all. Nothing in the state of Florida. The campaign is NOT what most people have been led to believe it is.

We strongly urge people to do their own research and to connect their own dots. The campaign will NOT stop sending you donation requests, that much is certain.
