Video: Texas Delegates Fight New RNC Rules

The Texas delegates are uniform in their quest to stay independent – in spite of the Republican National Committee's proposed rule change on national delegates.

The Republican National Committee is proposing a rule change that would give presidential hopefuls the power to disavow delegates, and in essence strip the states of the delegate selection process. The Texas delegates say they won't give up their independence without a fight. YNN political correspondent Alana Rocha reports.

The Tribune is collaborating with YNN/Capital Tonight to provide convention coverage.
