Great news! Texas SD 13 Clinton Delegate John Grothues reports this morning: …[W]e have received instructions from the Hillary people to vote for Hillary the first time. Then vote as our conscience dictates. Which for most of us means - Hillary again and again. You can be sure and can tell everyone, that I can conceive of no way that I can be bullied to change my vote.
