In a Texas normally blue area (went big for Senator Sanders), a Republican best a Democrat by 200 votes. The Republican was Hispanic and I believe the Democrat was either a White man or White woman. The area is pretty heavily Hispanic.

How disheartening for the winner who probably worked very hard and will continue to do so. Maybe in the long run it is only about the numbers, but in the short run its for the spirit and I say congratulations and more support to her.

It’s material we can USE!

Nobody’s gonna take the time to worry about the numbers of angels who can fit on the head of a pin.

It’s a WIN, DAMMIT. Focus on THAT. And BUILD FROM THERE.
