Clinton To Skip San Antonio During Upcoming Campaign Stops

Hillary Clinton is coming to Texas. But she’s staying north of San Antonio.

Clinton, the former secretary of state, will hold fundraisers in Austin and Dallas as she swings through Texas on Wednesday, June 3 and Thursday, June 4.

Clinton is the odds-on favorite to win the Democratic presidential nomination. Her only competition so far is Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator from Vermont.

Clinton cut some of her political teeth in Texas on the presidential campaign of Sen. George McGovern, D-SD, in 1972. She and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, campaigned throughout the state for McGovern, and registered voters in the Rio Grande Valley, according to the Texas Tribune.

Everyone will soon be learning that We the People are the democratic socialist that keep corporate free market corruption/Capitalism, in check.

FDR realized that, We the People would bring the Capitalist in to order, and in doing so, would end the Great Depression of the 1930s. We the People are the makers and spenders in the economy. Royalist fascist Elite are the Trickle-Up takers that have skimmed the People so badly that the economy has yet to fully recover. We the People have been going down hill ever since Reganomics was put in by Wall Street. We the People must vote toward democracy in order to reverse the damaging policies of the takers.
