This week on The Ticket: Sure, most of the political attention is in the early primary states, but The Texas Tribune's Jay Root and KUT's Ben Philpott think the Texas primary on March 1 is still going to play a giant role in picking the next president. They talk with Texas Tribune Editor-in-Chief and CEO Evan Smith about the role the Lone Star State could have in both the Republican and Democratic primaries.
Ben and Jay taped this podcast right after the first Democratic debate; hear their thoughts on the candidates' performance.
