Democratic Primaries

The real world is a nice place and in the real world you have to be able to pay for programs. sanders has zero significant legislative accomplishments because non of his fellow Democrats believe in adopting programs that cannot be paid for.

It is hard to take sanders seriously when he has zero legislative accomplishments and his magical voter revolution has flopped.

As for respect, I was a delegate to the National Convention and saw far too much of sanders and his supporters. Delegates to a national convention are vetted by the campaigns because these delegates are official representatives of the campaign and the candidate. I know that I was vetted and I helped vet other delegates.

I saw what happened there up close. sanders sent one very weak text the Sunday night before the convention and then did little or nothing to control his delegates. It was nasty I was there when the sanders delegates booed Congressman John Lewis. I was warned about this stunt 30 minutes before it happened by the Clinton campaign whip. According to my whip, sanders was asked to stop this event and declined. I also heard a Georgia delegate complain about sanders refusal to stop these planned stunts.

I was at the Texas delegation breakfast when a group of sanders delegates marched in and demanded that we condemn Hillary Clinton and change our votes to sanders.




sanders spoke to the Texas delegation the next morning and his speech was again solely about himself. There was a mini-riot due to his vetted delegates the prior morning and the only thing that sanders talked about was himself. sanders did nothing to deal with the fact that his delegates were out of control and did nothing to try to help Hillary Clinton win the general election.

Finally a group of sanders delegates yelled at my daughter and called her the c-Word because she would not try to get me to change my vote. Again sanders was asked to tell his delegates to behave during the convention and sanders refused

Texas and Georgia shared a bus from our hotels to the convention site. There were some really pissed off members of the Georgia delegation after John Lewis and Stacy Abrams were both booed as part of planned stunts by sanders vetted delegates. If sanders stays in until the Georgia primary it will be interesting to see if sanders makes the 15% threshold.

As for volunteering, I will be active with Lawyers for Biden the Texas state party on voter protection efforts.
