According to RCP Average, Hillary Leads in Texas by 30 Points

Hillary's team hopes to come up with at least a 100 point delegate win on Tuesday.

Here are Joseph Lenski's projections:

"Here are my delegate projections for 3/1: Clinton 512; Sanders 353; Trump 284; Cruz 160; Rubio 133; Kasich 15; Carson 3."

So he has her winning by 159 delegates which would be insurmountable going forward.

But if we are to believe the Texas polls, she could have close to an 100 delegate win on Tuesday just based in Texas alone. A new Emerson poll has her up by 42 points.

Meanwhile the news just about everywhere else is great for Hillary. There was a poll that showed Bernie up by 5, though she still has a small lead in the averages there.

But in light of the huge wins she will have down South, a 5 point win in OK wouldn't do much.

Meanwhile, in what has to be very worrying for Bernie, she has lead in 4 straight polls there, with a new Emerson poll showing her with  her biggest lead there yet lately, an 11 point lead.

Nationally a number of polls came out today showing her back up by about 20 points. In the interim between her big loss in NH and Nevada, the national polls had tightened and the day before Nevada one poll had her actually down by 3.

Sooner or later-and if she wins Massachusetts, sooner-Bernie is going to have to ask himself what the point of pushing this race to go on and on when he clearly has no path to victory beyond helping Donald Trump who may be done by late March.

Harry Enten notes Rubio trying to be Trump isn't working.

"If you look hard enough, there is perhaps some evidence that Cruz has picked up some ground heading into Super Tuesday. We'll see..."

But I see pretty much no evidence that Rubio has gained any ground... Anywhere."
