2/14 TGIF – TPW Valentine’s Evening & Open Thread
Birdies – it’s Friday, which calls for a TGIF post and cocktails/mocktails!
LD is on route to Mesquite, TX (southern suburb of Dallas) to catch Bernie at his first Texas rally!
Bernie Sanders holds rally in Mesquite Friday night
Democratic presidential frontrunner Sen. Bernie Sanders will hold a rally in North Texas Friday to talk with supporters, as a new Texas poll puts him slightly on top.
Voters arrived early to the event in Mesquite. It’s set to start at 7 p.m., but lines started to form earlier than that.
Of all the candidates in the Democratic primary this year, it’s Sanders who usually attracts the biggest and most enthusiastic crowds. He’ll be at the Mesquite Arena, a venue with a seating capacity of 5,500.
Sanders is currently the Democratic front-runner. That fact is a source of concern for many in the party establishment who worry how a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist would fare against President Donald Trump in November.
But there is more good news for Sanders’ campaign that was just released Friday morning. The latest polls from the University of Texas and the Texas Tribune show he is the favorite among likely Democratic voters to win the Texas primary on March 3.
We’re looking forward to getting on the ground reports!

Bill de Blasio: "I have spent literally six years undoing what Michael Bloomberg did."
He's going to be a great ally in our effort to shed light on @MikeBloomberg's horrible record.#BloombergIsARacist https://t.co/NSYyjDEgnj

This song and the Disturb video Sounds of Silence always remind me of Bernie.
Neil Young just became an American citizen and is looking forward to voting. Because of pot he had to apply twice.

Hope this is successful. Happy Heart’s Day you all.
Tried to link “Strut” by Bob Seger. Failed. 🙁
🙂
Made it in but still a while before anything starts.
Admittedly I am a bit frustrated as I had brought a group of posters/etc to give away and as I entered a man came up to me and asked if I had posters and assumed he wanted one so I showed him the group. After looking through them he said that he was with the campaign and that I could not give away the posters and only Bernie placards are allowed, and that if he saw them around he would track me down. He was shady and rude.
It put me on the verge of walking out.
Wow…I think I would DM Chris DeLeon about that.
Benny is right, LD. Raise some written h3ll. That’s the problem between 2016 and now. Bernie’s campaign is 2X as big, and no telling what kind of lowlife ‘security’ is on the payroll.
Hi Benny, you have any contact info
Just his tweety one..@ChrisDeLeon. There is a DM link.
Chris’s response:
Hi there, I’m so sorry to hear that. Our advance team can be a bit stressed out, I apologize for that
TY for sharing! Bernie cares!
That’s great🤗
Very frustrating but these things are very theatrical. No reason for him to be nasty. Being nice gets better results.
Ive been to a ton of Bernie events and watched even more, I see homemade signs, bammers, etc all the time and have gifted them before. This was a first encounter of the kind Ive ever had.
But yes mostly I dont appreciate the way he pretended to be an interested party and then later revealed himself to be part of the campaign and the whole ‘track you down’ thing.
I would contact the campaign as well, since you’ve been to numerous events and this is the first time it might be one overzealous person being in charge of something and it went to his head. Don’t let it spoil the evening for the both of you.
I saw some pissed off and very disappointed people get told they couldn’t bring in their homemade signs at the Bernie’s Back rally (we were also only allowed the official Bernie placards). I felt bad for those people.
