Deep in the heart of Texas

My wife, an accountant, went to visit one of her clients (a feed mill) in a small central Texas town today and overheard two young guys who work at the mill talking about how they hope 45 is removed from office soon. Let that sink in: two young white males working at a small town Texas feed mill are hoping trump is impeached (and they did say impeached) soon. Maybe there is hope for a blue...ish wave in Texas after all!
