During his Texas victory speech last night, Sen. Ted Cruz claimed that 65 percent of the Republican Party continues to prefer someone other than Donald Trump as its nominee. It turns out that he is absolutely right. In the 11 Republican Super Tuesday contests, Mr. Trump received 2.9 million votes in all—35.2 percent of the vote. Sen. Cruz tallied 2.5 million votes (29.9 percent), followed by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio with 1.9 million votes (22.5 percent) and Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 0.5 million (6.5 percent).
