Texas Standard for March 7, 2016
Remember when there were nine on stage, and a kid’s table debate? Many say it’s now down to two – and one’s from you know where. Texas Standard tackles the state of the GOP race. Also: Why does a candidate who’s offended so many south of the border have so much apparent support in the borderlands? Because there’s more to the story. Listen for a check-in with Laredo.

And: Why are millions of Texas tax dollars being spent on juggling balls, custom coffee mugs and other tchotchkes? All that and more, today on the Standard.
