How is someone like Cruz going to win a majority in these urban areas?
Um, same way he won the election for Senator?

Ah, nope.
The highest rated show on HBO is "Game of Thrones" - definitely NOT a movie.

I have HBO. I pretty much only watch their series, rarely movies. I love "VEEP."

Back to the topic at hand:
I am kind of excited as I've never been to a caucus before.
Looking forward to it.

And if he is up against Hillary thats his dream candidate. Its like Bush 2.0. Lots of baggage, bribed by Wall Street and big pharma and insurance, yet another dynastic name. Look how he annihiliated Jeb.
And, he's not even put on the gloves to knock Hillary out.... yet.
I can't WAIT for THAT to happen... and to see her in an orange jumpsuit makes all parts of me excited!

Sanders will likely carry Austin's senatorial district 14, which has 10 delegates but he'll probably have to split some of those with Clinton, I don't see it being an 85-15 shutout.

Parts of Austin are in 2 other senatorial districts but they spread out into the exurbs so it's hard to see Sanders carrying them.

Texas has 31 senatorial districts, here's how many delegates are in each. Other than SD14, I don't see how he could carry any. But he only has to get 15% to get a proportional piece of each of them and I think he'll do that in most. There are 77 statewide delegates that are also proportioned and he'll get a share of them.
