30. How are you even pretending to help repair the Democratic Party?

Apr 2018

You seem to condone and will not condemn any actions taken by your fellow "progressives" and seem to think that such actions help the party. The party does not need your fellow progressives engaging in the following conduct:

1, demanding that the Texas delegation condemned Hillary Clinton at the national convention,

2. Booing congressman John Lewis at the national convention and then letting everyone know that sanders bout this stunt and refused to try to stop it. As you know, the Texas delegation shared a bus line with the Georgia delegation. The Georgia delegation was not happy

3. Having a group of sanders delegates shout obscenities at my daughter at the convention and call her the C Word.

4. Supporting a stein supporter who ranted on your show about Clinton as a Harris County Party precinct chair. I trained over 200 poll watchers for 2016. The Harris County Party vetted the voting records of each of thse poll watchers and turned away several with straight gOP voting records

You evidently think that these actions will "repair" the party. Good luck with that

BTW if you want to repair the party, you may want to talk to your fellow "progressives." Their actions are not helping your cause

Finally what dou think need repairing? The Harris County Party swept 2016 and I know that the current GOP chair is worried about another sweep. How are you going to repair this?

The real world is a nice place. Texas will turn blue based On hard work on the ground by real democrats. Have fun doing whatever you think you are doing

I was also a Texas delegate to Philadelphia but I was a vetted Clinton delegate Gothmog Apr 2018 #1
