    Yeah, but Texas was once a nation and never ever forgets it. TV watching land may consider Texas a part of the "old West", but Texans know better.

    Texas is practically a region. Isn't a member of the South, West, or Midwest.

    And was once its own country.

    Texan's pride goes beyond anything I've seen from other states.

    From my fb:

    Donald J. Trump, did you ever hear how good Obama was at drinking bleach? Unbeatable

    Southern heritage is more than that. Unfortunately, it's gotten co-opted and tarnished by the battle flag wavers.

    When I think of southern heritage, I think of southern cooking, sweet tea, accents, bourbon. Faulkner and Grisham and Berry and Bragg. Sleeping porches on early late September nights. Dogwoods blooming. Seersucker. Mosquitoes so thick in the Delta you run from the car to the door as fast as you can. The blues.

    Doesn't Texas even have its own pledge of allegiance students recite alongside the national version? It blew my mind when I learned that.

    It’s time for that to stop. It’s time to stop looking at the latest Trump statement in relation to how bad you think the alternative is on the Left, or how biased the media is, and instead to compare it to what we should actually expect from a president. In a country where 99 percent of the population is opposed to Nazis, it should be the easiest thing in the world for an American president to unite the country by appealing to our shared values. Only Trump could take one of the most uncontroversial ideas in American politics, the Indiana Jones Rule, and turn it into a wrenching national argument.

    I think one of the biggest reasons that Trump is so anti-Obama is that Obama happened to be the president when Trump got a bug up his ass to make a run for the presidency, and to do so, you have to run against the previous guy's record.

    Well, that explains where Trump got his talking points.

    Yes, we have the equivalent of a sports fan who parrots sports radio in the White House.
