Description
Today, we do a deep dive into state legislative politics. Why is there only one Florida? Why is there only one governor willing to take on the most important issue of our time? A lot of it is because of apathy and the fact that we don’t have enough activists focused on the legislature, thereby ceding the field to the lobbyists. We’re joined by Matt Rinaldi, former Texas legislator and current GOP party chair, to discuss why Texas Republicans are so terrible. He explains how the teachers' unions have so much power and how they fool voters in primaries. The speaker of the House is a liberal and everyone seems to fall in line. So here we have a solid red state doing a whole lot of nothing while the culture war engulfs us all around.

Because of his win, and the path forward, it is looking more and more like the summer nominating convention will be open and that no candidate will get to 1,237 – the magical number to secure the nomination. While Cruz and Trump both have states they will likely win easily --- the recent surge by Cruz and the shrunken field have made for an interesting race. Daniel breaks down things state by state, and discusses how the June contest in California may be a deciding factor. Daniel and Joe also discuss the messaging behind declaring a mandate in a race like this. Each Campaign will have to make the case at an open convention (or beforehand) that their candidate should be the nominee. The offer their predictions on what those arguments should be, and explain which has the most by Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz
