There is no chance that Texas statewide sends a Democrat to Washington. Statewide office is almost but not completely out.

The only way a Democrat wins in this case is if Cruz loses the primary (because he's damaged goods), but runs as a Republican dissident, and siphons votes off the official Republican candidate.  That would split the right-wing vote, and the Democrat comes up the middle and wins, as long as they can get at least 40% statewide.  Otherwise, Democrats have no chance.

Texas has a sore loser law, you can't lose the primary and run in the general.
