I am an unabashed Bernie Sanders fan. I am far from being young. I consider myself a geezer.
I live in Texas and vote Democratic in a county that has been blood red Republican. We work to change that each day. We close the gap year by year.
I wanted Bernie to win SC. Really, I did. But, I am not depressed by the loss. I congratulate Hillary Clinton on her win there.
Texas is next Tuesday. Today Bernie came to our state on about 15 hours notice. Completely unexpected by us but in Austin over 10,000 gathered together for us, not him. Hours later over 7,000 gathered for us, not him, in Dallas. The line outside the Dallas event formed around five hours before Bernie was to speak. Mostly young people under 35 came. I did not because my knees would not work on concrete for hours. Did I say I was a geezer?
Bill Clinton is coming Monday to Dallas,Texas. If he gets more than 1,500 to attend his rally for Hillary Clinton it will be a miracle, in my opinion. Ted Cruz is coming to Dallas, Texas, the same day and will speak at a bar that might hold a few hundred. I welcome both without hard feelings.
If you are going to play in Texas, you got have a fiddle in the band. They probably will bring microphones.
I do not think Texas is an easy target for Hillary Clinton. But, we shall see. General Santa Anna thought Texas would be easy. In the words of an old song, ‘Will you come to the bower said the spider to the fly.’ Yee haahh, go Bernie!!
