    Here's another one I got last week from Hillary's Assitant Communication Director Christine Reynolds:

    This is really happening, Cosmo -- last night, Ted Cruz, the final Republican who had a fighting chance of stopping Donald Trump, dropped out of the race. And John Kasich's campaign is saying he'll drop out later today, too.

    Trump is going to be the Republican nominee. And if he wins the White House, he could erect a wall on the Mexican border, put women in jail for having abortions, and ban Muslims from coming to our country -- and those are just some of the ideas we know about so far.

    16 Republicans tried and failed to stop Trump -- now it’s up to us.

    Are you in? Your $5 is about more than money. It’s your way of saying you’re ready to fight like hell to make sure Donald Trump never becomes president:

    Speaking from non-recent experience. You can't find what you don't look for. :(

    Well, hell, HC, that's too bad.

    I don't have to look, though. I'm intimately familiar with that area.

    Is there another kind of familiarity with that area?

    I'd disagree that he downplayed it. He lived it out in ways I identify.

    I got a kick out of this part of the story:

    (Willlard's) teaching that the Kingdom of God is available here and now—“eternity is already in session,” he was known to say—follows a school of thought known as spiritual formation, or the idea that with discipline and spiritual development, ordinary Christians can grow to become more like Jesus. “I love to envision the potential impact on society if more and more people in government began to live lives of other-centered love,” Kasich wrote in a tribute book to Willard. “I have hope that I can put practices in my life today that can help me not only now but also in the world yet to come.” Kasich, with his unique mix of left- and right-leaning views, seems to have adopted Willard’s focus on the Kingdom of God as far more important than the Republic of the United States.

    Why this is radical thought, I dunno. It's pretty standard stuff.

    What the GOP has done to massage and manipulate Christianity - and, in turn, what many Christians have allowed themselves to be drafted into - is a great shame of the church.

    Which is why I'm not particularly sad about Trump. Even if he won, which I doubt he will, better him than a fraud like Cruz, who has a persecution and God complex.

    "Morning Blow's" entire function is to suck Trump's cock.

    Anything that makes The Pig look good they blow sky high.

    Texas is probably the only state -- maybe California could too -- that could make a go of this and have it actually work. They have the population, energy reserves, and a general independent attitude that would make it possible.
    It's stupid and will never go anywhere, thank God, but it'd be possible.

    Yeah, no way California could make it. Bunch of liberal pussies.

    As a strictly intellectual exercise, ignoring political realities, the reactions of the federal government, etc., and just focusing on all of a state's assets in a vacuum ... yes, absolutely Texas could make it as its own country.
    It has everything it needs. Size, access to open water, a sizable population, good infrastructure and energy reserves. Why couldn't they make it on their own?

    Again, strictly as an intellectual exercise. I'm not advocating secession.
