"Texas is not America... It’s in America, but it’s not America."

"National polls don’t mean anything. Democrats haven’t won a statewide office in Texas since 1994. There are no Peter Kings in Texas."

Quote from Matt Mackowiak whom the NYT identifies as "a Republican political consultant in Austin and the former spokesman for... Kay Bailey Hutchison," in an article titled "Texans Stick With Cruz Despite Defeat in Washington."

Matt Mackowiak is most likely...
	A Republican political consultant, but not a Republican.
	A Republican who understands the limits of being a Texan Republican outside of Texas.
	A political consultant who wants to be consulted by liberal media & uses "Republican" as a gimmick.
	A Republican that you can find in Austin, which is in Texas, but it’s not Texas.
