(1,968 posts)If she wins Texas by 61-39 (giving all the undecideds and whatnot to Sanders), she takes a huge number of delegates that completely wash out any potential Sanders wins.
Every other delegate advantage on Super Tuesday becomes nothing more than gravy on the magnificent roast that is Texas.
