1. I've seen some vids of his past/prior remarks and found him impressive!

[Liberal In Texas]

2. He's out there like the Energizer Bunny.

Out there talking to people in person. Talking to people who are in red areas as well as blue. Going on friendly and not so friendly media.

Other Democratic office holders and wanna-be office holders should take note.

3. Do you know for a fact that they are not?

I would not have known about this one without Applegrove's post. There are a lot of good people speaking up and speaking out.

5. Deeply red area of Texas.

Less than 20 percent voted for the Democratic candidate for president. Perhaps (not) coincidentally, about the same percent have a higher education degree.

6. For a fact? I just know who I see on the TV/hear on the radio et al.

And that seems to be the same people. Gavin, Beto, Jasmine, AOC, Bernie, Pritzker this guy and others I can't think of right off. That's far from the dozens out there keeping their powder dry.

TIA
