"A line of excited Clinton supporters began to form outside the event more than five hours beforeshe was set to speak.

Melisa Vila, a 19-year-old student studying architectural engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, left the state’s capital at 7:30 Saturday morning to ensure she could see Clinton speak. She was fifth in line.

“She’s been a huge inspiration throughout my life,” Vila said.

She was worried about studying for a test on Tuesday, but said she had to make the time to see Clinton. “She’s my hero.”

But Vila said she was supporting Clinton because she was the most experienced candidate for the job. It was a reason echoed by other supporters in line

“She’s been everywhere,” said Ezekiel Nwajiaku, who’s been in Houston for 19 years. “I don’t know where Sanders has been.”


These students at Texas Southern University have it exactly right. Gracias for this report from Texas right after Hillary won Nevada!
