Hillary45 will/can win 450 electoral votes with Texas.

and continue the President Obama terms for 16 years.

With change comes continuation

and it takes a Clinton to defeat Jeb Bush.
(whom this poll does not include for some reason).

and unlike those that say they don't want to discuss 2016 (most of whom I would wager IMHO don't actually want Hillary45, so they want to stiffle(as Archie Bunker arch conservative used to say) all talk about HIllary45.

however, IMHO, and this is really important IMHO-
the steamroller effect of positive news like this is-it allows ALL those who secretly wish Texas would be blue, but figure, well, since Ann Richards it hasn't happened, this will indeed help
turn the Governor's mansion democratic, and follow that with the Presidential race.
And could help in house districts therefore not thought possible, as long as major candidates are put up to run on the democratic line in all districts.

so this helps the entire
(and its interesting because I heard this word today in conjunction with the passing of
Ed Koch (whom by the way really devastated Andy C. didn't he), how love him or hate him,
Ed lifted the morale of NYC at the time Gerald Ford said NY was dead.

so this indeed helps the entire MORALE of the southern Democratic voters and party to see that indeed, Texas and the south can indeed rise again AS DEMOCRATIC OFFICE HOLDERS.
and in positive thinking, it expands and more and more, once they believe it possible, go for it.
Positive attitudes always succeed over negative ones.
Silence leads to negativity because someone thinking well it could happen, who doesn't hear others saying it, tends to not want to attempt it.
Loud cheering on the other hands, gets those who are sitting quietly, to start clapping along
and the cheers get louder and louder and louder and louder.
(and of course, those that don't want to hear laughter and cheers, will indeed attempt to
say be silent.
Like they did to Howard Dean for being enthusiatic.
Like they did in the aftermath of the celebration of the life of Paul Wellstone.
Last thing the Bush family and the republican party likes is cheering and applauding and noise.
In silence they win.

So yell it out and continue to yell it out from now til Jan.20, 2017 when Hillary Rodham Clinton is sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.
And Texas is part of the great Democratic rainbow that is going to add blue to the rest of America that isn't already on board.

Go Hillary45.

Because now that we have President Obama, we don't need to pass the torch. We just need to lateral it and keep the ball for the continuation to move forward.

IMHO of course.
(and it seems in this PPP poll, in the opinion of a helleva lotta Texans too.)


take a nice vacation, rest up.And let's make it as easy and stress free so that
THE DREAM LIVES ON for your mother and for all who as the Declaration should have said all are equal.(but unfortunately, Thomas Jefferson left out 2/3 of the 2013 country in his badly written (but written on purpose)statement).
