I am treating myself to another round of Party Builder. I have been away since the Texas Convention. My hopes are that this site is now as united as out Texas Democratic Party. Our State Convention win Austin was inspiring. Almost as many people were disappointed in the way Texas went as were happy with the results.

Our delegation of 123 people was at full strength and 2/3 in support of Hillary even though we had all discussed the inevitable result. Party unity was not immediate, and as Hillary made her speech on Saturday morning tears were shed on both sides. Her call for support of the party had almost all of the Hillary supporters applauding along with all the Obama supporters.

From our group I was only ashamed of one person's public reaction to the news Hillary gave us. I will not discuss that here because one out of more than 100 people is not worth dwelling on. Now I am really only interested in hearing from everyone else how we can continue grow our party and keep the reigns of government out of the hands of John McSame and his party which has almost stricken our democracy a death blow over the past 7 1/2 years.
