Bernie Looking Good In Texas

Sanders now has 24% support among Democrats in Texas, a 12 point jump from October according to a University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll. This is ahead of Biden who has 22% and Warren who is at 15%.

Also, in terms of a matchup with Trump, from the poll...

"Sanders had the closest matchup with the president, losing 47-45, which is within the poll's overall margin of error."

And I'm not surprised at all by that showing in Texas. Sanders puts Texas in play, meaning Trump will have to spend time there, which his campaign definitely doesn't want to do.

Sanders is our best option to beat Trump. He will beat Trump if he is the nominee.
