You are my brother, and I think it's good I raised the issue and had a good chat
with Joaquin.  Lets hope Bernie's Texas devotees do not read the Texas Tribune
story and it passes unnoticed.  My roadmap for HRC is to fortify her liberal
stands, make love to Bernie and his wonderfully idealistic supporters, beat the
crap out of Republicans especially about women and Hispanics, and I can help
when the time is right bring the Bernie people into the Hillary camp.  This would not
have been a helpful controversy....thx as always, Brent
