Bernie Sanders visit to San Antonio and Lubbock in the works for March

Plans are in the works for U.S. Senator and former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders to visit Lubbock next month.

Several sources have confirmed this visit, scheduled tentatively for Saturday, March 10. A specific time and location have not yet been announced.

On Feb. 14, a post on Our Revolution Texas South Plains/Panhandle’s Facebook page states, “Save the date, Saturday, March 10, 2018 in Lubbock, Texas!”

An official for this group said they’re still working on the details and should have an announcement next week. He said the plan is for Sanders to fly to Lubbock after his San Antonio visit on Friday, March 9. News outlets in San Antonio have confirmed this visit. San Antonio’s KENS News said Sanders is fundraising for Our Revolution Texas, a “statewide progressive populist organization that formed in the wake of the Bernie Sanders campaign.” Tickets for the event in San Antonio are starting at $27.

We went from $27.00 to $27.99?

Alrighty then forward to Lubbock.
I am a tad confused her. I thought he worked in the Senate. Is he now the ambassador for the US?

Has to do it and it looks like some in the party are distracted.

I guess talking about our priorities just isnt worth as much to some.

So are you saying that fighting for better gun laws that may help prevent another slaughter of our children is just a distraction? Or that preventing Russia from stealing our elections in 2018 and 2020 is just a distraction as well? It is a priority for us all to win back the House and Senate in 2018 or we cannot begin to make any progress against the GOP/Russian owned House Senate and WH.

You seem to know.

OR

Am I saying that some people are spending a significant portion of their time trying to purge the "left" from the Democratic Party (also know as the regurgitation of anti-Bernie PRIMARY meme's) on the eve of the 2018 elections INSTEAD OF trying to unite the party so we can actually win?

Hmmmmm.
