virginia, arkansas, he can keep getting delegates by coming in a close second or third, but he's got to find a place to win. i think 20% is his biggest number, 20% in texas if he gets less than that he can get shut out of all of texas' delegate. >> they have to build up enough delegates to try to block trump even if they can't get there themselves. on the democratic side hillary clinton coming out of that big win saturday in south carolina. looks like she's ready to roll through the south. >> that's right and bernie sanders has to find a way to win somewhere where we don't expect him to. his home state votes, he can win there. probably massachusetts next door but he's got to find a way not to geddes mated again in the south. >> okay, jon karl, thanks very much. we're going to be out in force on super tuesday. i'll be with our whole political team for a prime tiemme show and on "gma" and "world news tonight." >> a storm bringing severe weather to the plains. where are you, rob? >> great-looking crowd down stage.
