No big deal. Every state has its fair share of RATS. And Texas is a big state.

"Hillary has some very good friends in Texas," ....

Wrong.

Hillary has some very good friends in Austin. A totally different place from Texas.

[wideawake]

It's local patriotism. Lone Star staters think Senator Clinton's ankles come from Texas.

[andyk]

The nicest thing about Austin is how close it is to Texas.

Hill country bump!

[Stu Cohen]

I think Texans are looking for a candidate a little less pro-illegal-immigration.

At this point, Hillary is the best they've got.

A Dallas Morning News analysis of Clinton's fundraising for this year's first quarter found that South Texas accounted for one-third of the former first lady's Texas contributions, proving that the region is growing in economic clout and political importance.

Uhhhmmmmm....how does this prove anything other than South Texas has a lot of disillusioned democrats?

No doubt 95% of that money comes out of Austin. Probably within 5 miles of UT.

Thank you!

I was just about to scream...

Austin AIN'T *Texas*!

LOL

Texas has a lot of wealthy plaintiff's personal injury lawyers who bankroll the Democratic party.

Austin is weird, the houses in my neighborhood are selling at between 400k and 1.75m and it votes 75% Democrat every time.

[demkicker]

And unfortunately Texas is so big that we've got lots of RATS. Most hide in the shadows knowing they'll get stepped on by elephants:)

For some reason lots of people from Houston, Dallas and California want live in Austin and are driving property prices sky high.

Shame on them...tell 'em to go home :)

"Democrats may raise money in Texas, but they don't win in Texas,"

Let them waste their money.

"Hillary has some very good friends in Austin. A totally different place from Texas."

Austin is full of people from California and other places that begin sentences with how wonderful it was where they came from.

[rogue yam]

This is good news. It means that Texas lefties see little point in funding candidates in their own state.

[jsbankston]

I hate the California Refugees when I pay my property taxes or sit in traffic but if I need to move and sell my house they will be my best friends.

But for now, I ain't moving. Weather is good, lakes are beautiful, greenbelt in wonderful and the biking is unmatched.

Because of the hooves?
