Wow in Texas re Bernie.

I'm going to phone bank tomorrow at a home in the large, affluent retirement community across the highway.

I remarked to the host that she must, as a Democrat, feel kinda lonely there, as I had heard horror stories from Democrats who had canvassed door-to-door there.

She said all but one of her immediate neighbors were for Bernie.

them. They've had to endure a string of some of the shittiest Republican governors in history, including the current incumbent.

They need 'em some Bernie.

Thank you for working the phones for that very decent human being Bernie Sanders.

Yes we do.

It wouldn't hurt if we had some decent progressives down ticket, also. The pickings have been slim to none for quite some time.

We need all the help we can get here.

The campaign called me a couple of days ago to help. Unfortunately I'm in the process of getting some long needed dental work, so had to decline at this time.

I do print up flyers and cards to hand out every chance I get though.
