Rick Perry is from Texas too. The longest serving governor in the history of Texas no less. How many endorsements did he get?
And let's not forget the Bushes who are very strong in Texas too. How many did Jeb get?

I see that on FOX tonight they announced the two biggest fundraisers this quarter were Bush with $100 million and Cruz with a bit over $50 million.

Breaks my heart.
