In addition to the anti-Trump ad that the campaign released last week, the former secretary of state’s team will plaster Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia airwaves with two soft biographical spots, one lasting sixty seconds and another thirty.
Dallas County, Travis County (Austin), Harris County (Houston), Jefferson County (Beaumont), El Paso County, Bexar County (San Antonio) and a ton of the more latino southern counties all went blue.
Looks like Bernie purposely didn't go to the filibuster.

Update:
@SenSanders knew that Democrats would mount gun law #filibuster.
He chose to leave DC and go back to VT last night.

Here is my prediction for Texas atm. It's all the counties that went blue in either 2008 or 2012, plus any of the counties that voted 50% - 60% for Romney in 2012. I took the governor election map from 2014 so just ignore that text.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign isn’t considering primary rival Bernie Sanders as her running mate, but is actively looking at Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whose populist politics line up closely with Mr. Sanders, people familiar with the process said.
Beyond the Massachusetts senator, other prospective candidates include Labor Secretary Tom Perez; Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro; Sens. Tim Kaine of Virginia, Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Cory Booker of New Jersey; Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, and Reps. Xavier Becerra of California and Tim Ryan of Ohio, several Democrats said.
I'm kind of getting behind the Clinton/Warren ticket. This seems like a good election to run with an all-female ticket to contrast Trump. Warren's attacks on Trump have been well-received and I found myself cheering at the screen watching her speech last week. I'm cool with Castro or Booker as well.
They are all good picks (minus Castro) IMHO. Most of them are a little bit too safe, which, considering it is Donald Trump, I can see why you would. At the same time, it is Donald Trump and he comes up with something more stupid to say every single day. I'd personally go with Warren. I want Booker to run someday though.
Booker was hauling ass last night. He wasn't the one filibustering but he stood with Senator Murphy the whole time (literally) in solidarity and I have so much respect for that. He would make a great President some day. I would be completely fine with him as a VP choice though I'm leaning more towards Warren right now.
I still can't get over Sanders not joining. Just goes to show he's all talk and the way his supporters have fallen for it. His ego is so inflated. I do believe he was genuine at one point but his lack of an F from the NRA just shows he's somewhat in their pockets too.

I'd be happy with Booker if she doesn't choose Warren. Kaine seems like a logical choice but it's just not an exciting pick at all. I want someone who will bring fire to her campaign. Warren and Booker are perfect for that. Personally I'd go with Warren (just to help bridge the gap between her and Sanders).
I would also LOVE to see Warren debate Trump's VP pick. The massacre.

I'm still hopeful that Newt is playing hard to get with Trump and will eventually get the spot. Watching Liz tear him piece by piece would be so deserving.
Richard Armitage, a high-ranking Republican who served as a assistant secretary of defense for Reagan and deputy secretary of state for George W. Bush, has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president!
"If Donald Trump is the nominee, I would vote for Hillary Clinton... He doesn't appear to be to be a Republican, he doesn't appear to want to learn about issues. So I’m going to vote for Mrs. Clinton.”
