2. This is not good news

For us non Texans, just hoping for a win, why do you think the party chairman did this?

One thing in the article is confusing. There is a short point blank sentence that Allred was not invited. However, a bit lower the party chairman says he would love him to attend. So, it seems he is not being given time to speak. That is a difference. Is there a chance they can reach out to him and give him a slot? Not knowing Texas, is it wrong to assume that Allred and Crockett are the most popular AA politicians. After she turned down the convention, couldn't they have asked him?

I don't know how long the convention is and how many people have been asked to speak. I would hope the list is diverse and includes supporters of Crockett.

It does make me think less of Crockett that she turned down the convention.
