She will have an uphill fight. Probably carry north Texas, Austin and the other cities, but the real fight will be in East and West Texas. How she runs in the small cities there will determine the race. if she can get, say 45%, in the small cities and towns there, she has a shot. if she loses and gets more than 45% it will give her another shot. Cruz is up in '16.
