Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumHillary at the Texas Southern U. GOTV event the same night she won Nevada caucus
Despite the usual malicious slander from Camp Bitter that she was leaving Nevada because she "knew she was going to lose," "was going to give a speech to Goldman Sachs", was going to some mega-bucks a plate fundraiser, etc., the truth was that she was going to a previously announced, free, open-to-the public GOTV event at the renowned historically Black university ahead of the March 1 Texas primary. Certain people don't understand that some candidates are capable of multi-tasking and juggling a complex schedule and the concerns of diverse constituencies.
"HOUSTON - There was little time for celebration for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton after she narrowly defeated Bernie Sanders in the Nevada Caucus Saturday evening.
Not long after the victory, Clinton hopped on a plane bound for Houston.
Clinton spoke to supporters at Texas Southern University Saturday evening, just ten days before the Texas primary.
Thousands of supporters gathered at TSU to hear Clinton on Saturday. Many were even decked out with pro-Hillary attire, ready for the political fight ahead.
"Clinton's been fighting for people like me, for women and children and families for decades, that's one of her common themes, that she's fighting for us. So I thought I'd come out here and show her that I'm fighting for her too." said one supporter as she held up boxing gloves.
Crowds were lined up hours in advance at the university.
"I'm really excited about the win in Nevada, for the momentum, the energy, the excitement." said another supporter.

For any Camp Bitter lurkers in this group who don't understand the difference between Goldman Sachs and an historically Black university that happens to be the alma mater of the likes of Barbara Jordan and Mickey Leland, here is some information about TSU:

Just another sour grapes rumor and/or lie being spread about Clinton and her campaign.
