Well, Cruz is a senator, so he runs statewide - his only district lines are the borders of Texas. To that extent he is, unfortunately, an accurate reflection of Texas voters' preferences. But don't underestimate the impact of big money from the interests he serves; and remember the crucial phrase is "voters' preferences." Turnout is the final determinant of elections. When churches and corporations march their minions to the polls, they can only be beaten by better organization. Since that's rare, you usually get people like Cruz.
