Sanders's Texas delegates are good people
One of their own tried to blow up a unity breakfast, and they were having none of it.

However, Hinojosa said most delegates quickly denounced Lytle's comment.
“Within minutes, Bernie delegates started coming to me and said, ‘We are really sorry. This is not what we planned to do. We do not agree with this,'" Hinojosa recalled.
He said some Sanders delegates then went back on the stage to address the situation and apologized for Lytle’s remark. Lytle has since turned in his credentials and released a statement apologizing for the remark.

Jacob Limon, the Texas state director for the Sanders campaign, said Lytle “got caught up in the moment” and his word choice does not reflect the sentiments of the Sanders delegation. Limon said Lytle would be replaced by an alternate delegate.
“In a few hours, we’re not going to be Bernie delegates or Hillary delegates, we’re going to be Democratic delegates,” Limon told POLITICO in an interview. “99 percent of the speech and what we talked about was fantastic.”
Limon said people left the breakfast in good spirits, and he feels the delegation is united behind Clinton as they head into the roll call vote later Tuesday.
Time for everyone--self included--to look past the noisy trolls and focus on the bigger picture.
