UPDATED: Davis endorses Clinton, blasts Cruz as “not fit to lead” (Abortion Barbie)
The Dallas Morning News' Trail Blazers Blog ^ | September 30, 2015 | Robert T. Garrett

Update at 6:33 p.m.: Former Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis touted Hillary Clinton’s experience and grit, while castigating Texas Sen. Ted Cruz as “not fit to lead” during a coffee klatsch for Clinton in Austin Wednesday evening.

Speaking to about 40 people, Davis endorsed the former secretary of state’s presidential bid.

“Hillary has demonstrated for many years her exemplary ability to lead in the face of real challenges,” she said. “We need someone like that.”

Davis said that as the nation’s first female president, Clinton would “hopefully knit this Congress back together” and promote an agenda of “things that really matter to American families.”

Speaking with reporters, Davis blasted Cruz and other Republicans in Congress who are willing to force a government shutdown to prevent Planned Parenthood from receiving federal Medicaid funds of any kind.

“The idea that we are playing with people’s lives … in order to score political points with the extreme base of the Republican Party shows that Ted Cruz and others who are in agreement with him are absolutely not fit to lead this country,” she said.

Davis dismissed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ chances of catching Clinton in the Texas Democratic primary in early March. People remember Clinton and her husband Bill’s past work in and contributions to Texas, Davis said. She largely avoided answering a question about Vice President Joe Biden.

Asked about her own future, Davis said she’s game to run for office again. But she offered no details.

“I hope that that opportunity presents itself to me again because I loved being in public service [and] fighting for the things that I was fighting for,” she said. “It may or may not happen in my future.”(continued)

{”Hillary has demonstrated for many years her exemplary ability to lead in the face of real challenges,”}

Would that one of our fine journalists ask any Hillary supporter or Hillary herself exactly what she has accomplished.

Actually it's the pant suit that has grit, but it should come out in the wash. That's the big difference between the pantsuit and hitlary, it's possible for the pantsuit to become clean, hitlary............not so much.

“I do hope to run again,” she said

It would take a lot of fairy dust for Wendy to fly.

“Wendy Davis touted Hillary Clinton’s experience”

Birds of a feather. I wonder if her endorsement will help any of Davis’s loserness to rub off on Hillary?

If only Wendy Davis’s mamma had visited a Planned Parenthood office when she conceived that vermin, how much better we would all be

After giving Hillary her much sought after endorsement, she went back to turning tricks at the Flying J on I-20.

Maybe she’s running for President of Code Pink. At least she already has the shoes for it.

A washed-up has-been endorses Hilary and criticizes someone whose shoes she isn’t fit to shine.
