14. We will take over Texas

Wed Feb 21, 2018, 06:08 AM

Feb 2018

Once we turn it from red to purple to blue. Bye bye any chance of the GOP winning the presidency again.

We are working hard down here to flip this state once and for all. Be great to see all of the southeastern area blue. Stretch it from Washington state all the way to Texas. Flip Arizona to blue. We got a southern blue wave going.
