Clinton supporters cheer, cry at book signing in downtown Austin
American Statesman ^ | 11/17/2017 | Jonathan Silver

For Lulu Flores, it still hurts.

“I really feel for her,” Flores said as her eyes welled. “She did not let anybody down. I felt like we let her down.”

On Nov. 8, 2016, Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. His opponent, Hillary Clinton, had been considered the favorite in the race. Clinton won the popular vote, but Trump bested her in the Electoral College.

Clinton — who met with hundreds of supporters and readers at BookPeople on Friday to sign copies of her book, “What Happened,” about the 2016 campaign — seems to have moved on. Many of her supporters, though, were shaken again remembering Election Night.

“A lot of our fellow Democrats are in a place of shock, disbelief, angst,” Flores said. “Others have shaken it off and persisted. And I have too, but it took a lot out of me.”

Flores, a Clinton supporter since the former first lady’s days in the Senate and a grass-roots fundraiser for her presidential campaign, stood in a line that stretched around the block downtown. Once she was in front of Clinton, Flores said she thanked Clinton for her work.

“Reading the book helped me heal,” she said. “Once again, she’s leading by example.”(snip)

Malia Palmer, in tears, said Clinton is her hero.

“She’s done so much in the face of so much resistance,” she said. “I would tell her that she inspires me.”

Malia Palmer also has political aspirations.

“I would like to be a senator,” she said, before hesitating.

Go ahead and say it, her father, Sean Palmer, said.

“I would like to be a senator,” she said. “And then president.”

Ladies and gentlemen!

I am here to tell you that I read Hillary’s book, and IT HEALED ME!!!

I was a little constipated, and then I read her book, and I figured that if she could put out that much shirt, then so could I!

And the shirt flowed like Clinton promises!

Austin is an embarrassment to Texas. The blue blight in the middle of the Lone Star State. Libs just keeping Austin weird.

Probably a paid cult, but there’s no way that the Clintons are parting with so much as a bent nickel, so maybe her publisher’s spending cash to avoid a money laundering and/or bribery indictment?

They are part of the mass hysteria that has infected millions of Americans.

I wonder what it will take to shock them out of it.

Speaking of cults, I just dredged from my store of distant memories this one: wasn’t their a witches’ coven of Wiccans (or some such) that was going to conduct a huge ceremony to put a spell on DJT and thereby thwart his plans, or cause him to do the horizontal boogie, or some such?

I think it was in the days just after the election. Was enough of a story to make the national news on some outlet or other.

Austin is the San Francisco of Texas.

If that ol’ Drill Sergeant said, “Only Queers and Steers come from Texas!”, you would be hard pressed to make the distinction!!
