become more concentrated in key cities and suburbs, any politician would be
unwise to ignore the voices of rural Texans. Texas
Leftist believes that 2018 is the year for Texas
Democrats to leave their urban safe zones and reach out across all areas of the

ReplyDeletePretty stupid as the issue was not putting him in jail, but putting him on the supreme court. We didn't think that there was a right to a supreme court seat enshrined in the constitution.
