One more republican voter to stay home on election day

These anecdotal reports of republicans claiming they're voting D or staying home on election day are a bit silly.

Nevertheless. . . We have a business partner who is, by his own description, "very conservative." Still, we don't talk politics, and he has a few redeeming qualities. That said, I just learned this morning that he's fed up. He says he can't vote for "a liberal," but says he staying home on election day. I hope that's a long-term commitment that extends beyond this November.

Anecdotal, and who knows if he'll follow through. But, still, a minor victory along the way.

If DJT wanted to suppress the vote, attacking a woman who was abused would be a good start! The R politicians running must be going through fits over him on a daily basis.
