Once again here to tap the mic and say Texas is a gerrymandered, voter repressed state, not a "red" state. And every one of you celebrating the (significant) win in Tarrant County better not be the same people in my mentions saying to throw the whole South away. There are good people fighting.

I got the message for an "extreme cold watch" in San Antonio, but now that I see Ted Cruz is headed to Laguna Beach, I know the weather's gonna get real bad.
That boy really can't stand the cold for someone who sucks so much ICE.
