texas, biggest prize on the board. break it down. too pools of delegates in texas. you've got 36 congressional districts in the state.each one gets three delegates. that's, whoops, wait a minute. i'll get it right. that's a total of 108 delegates given out in texas based on the votes in the state. now, the rules for those delegates are if somebody gets over 50% in the district, that candidate gets all of those delegates. but otherwise, it's a splits. first place will get two, second place is going to get one, third place, even if it's only one vote behind second place, gets zero. so that's how that 180 is distributed. you have to hit 20% to get any of those. so you're marco rubio, you've been seeing polls that show you in third place, fairly far behind trump and cruz, your hopes in the congressional districts may not be good right now, but you want the pool of 47 and you have to hit 20% or you're probably getting zero. >> it's important who wins, but how people loose ends up being an important part. >> steve kornacki with the finger math. this is why we can't have nice things. let's introduce our other friends here.

state with the exception of texas. here's one of the more remarkable pieces of data last night. trump drove record turnout in nearly every contest across the board, except poor old vermont. we're talking numbers that rivaled obama's movement on the left in 2008. the big picture, folks, the republican map is quickly turning into trump country. he's built a decent delegate lead, not insurmountable yet, but it's decent and nearly 200 over cruz. they cannot beat trump with a convention fight if he hits that magic number 1,237, their only hope is to stop him from getting that magic number if they can. which means it's up though these guys, cruz, rubio and kasich to try to figure out how to stop the trump juggernaut. as they all made clear last night, none of them intends to go quietly and maybe that's the right call. >> for the candidates who have not yet won a state, who have not racked up significant delegates, i ask you to prayerfully consider our coming together, uniting -- >> two weeks from tonight, right here in florida, we are going to send a message cloud and clear. the party of lincoln and reagan and the presidency of the united states will

the state that will drive the delegate board the greatest tonight is going to be in texas. in a couple of these you have to finish at 20% or higher to get delegates. there it is. donald trump of course going to get delegates even though trailing to cruz. marco rubio stands in great danger of being shut out of any of the 155 delegates at stake. that's why there's so much pressure on marco rubio moving forward. it is important to point out that in two weeks from tonight when you're talking about i will annoy and ohio and florida, the winner takes all. you could see an anti trump candidate, if they beat donald trump they win all the delegates. that's what you will hear from ted cruz and from marco rubio as to why they should stay in the race and be the anti trump. the problem is that their votes are largely counting out each other and essentially helping donald trump >>> david, thank you. i want to point out that arkansaw which has not been called on the republican side only has 2% of the vote in. donald trump 33%, marco rubio 27%. let's go to ali velshi who is in ted cruz hea
