30. I am really happy to see this. She's shown she is a champion with this!

I was Talarico all the way, but I realized every step of that way the value of Crockett. Texas just isn't ready for her statewide, and THAT is Texas loss' - at the moment. But she WILL have another chance, I promise you. She is not finished and she is not done, and I am happy for being able to say that.

This concession is exactly what is needed, and she showed grace and unity and civility. THIS Is what it's all about, and THIS is knowing that anyone (i.e., the individual) is NOT as important in this particular fight as the many are important. She understood the assignment.

Kudos, Ms. Crockett!!!!
