So blue states send an overwhelming majority of their delegation to be Democrats despite the votes of their citizens. And let me give you some specific numbers. So Texas right now has 38 congressional seats. Right now, Republicans have 25 of those. Democrats have 13. That means the percentage of Republicans in the delegation today is right about 66%. Now, about 56% of the state voted for Trump, a little more than 56%. (28:36–28:43)
