5. A joke? Why?

There must have been two dozen threads in the past 24 hours about what a phenomenal achievement it was for Hillary to defeat Obama despite being outspent in PA. So I just wanted to ask a question to those who subscribe to that line of thinking. After all, they seem to think that people base their voted upon who spent more money.

6. No, she wouldn't, even though

she might win the big urban counties which have been bluer and bluer every election cycle.

But the whole state? No. Texas won't turn blue as a whole state for a few more cycles at the very least.

7. Nope but...

All that money would end up in an offshore bank faster than you can say fucking thief.She could then buy a small island and be queen at last.

8. She has insulted Texas all year long

She is just using Texas to prop up her nonsense argument about winning in the big states and how that supposedly makes her more electable. Yet, she also mocks Obama winning in small red states and says that they don't "count" because we won't win those states in the fall. This tells me that she has no intention of campaigning in Texas in the fall. She's just using Texas for delegates and to prop up a bullshit argument.
