I hope Ted wins his home state while Bush and Rubio lose theirs. It is sad that Texas is a proportional state while places like California, Massachucetts, etc are winner take all. They have more influence on the total delegates selected and final nominee than Texas. Yet, they never vote for Republicans in thee GE.

"They have more influence on the total delegates selected and final nominee than Texas."

In past years Texas chose to have their primary in May and the states method was to award delegates nearly winner-take-all.

But two things happened. The State decided to move their primary date up to "have more influence" and the GOP decided to for all primaries and caucii before March 15th to be proportional.
