Off to Mom and Republican Stepdad's tomorrow night.

He's one of the handful of sane, reasonable ones. No, really, they still exist. I can hardly wait to hear his opinions of the occupants of the clown car.

They have computers, too, and I need something to do while Mom watches Law & Order for hours on end.

1. He'll disown Trump and say that the media is creating him. He doesn't represent all Republicans, and that Hillary is behind this all the way.

2. Bernie Sanders' socialism is about people wanting to take from hard working Americans and give it to people who are lazy.

3. Hillary will have Bernie killed if he gets too close.

4. Jeb Bush is a moderate Liberal, not a conservative.

Tell me which ones that I got right and wrong.

Don't think he'll drag Hillary into it. He is not the sort who froths at the mouth whenever he hears the name "Clinton", like so many of them are.

Possibly because they are both considered "outsiders" but it's a phenomenon I have experienced more than a few times by people who are, shall we say, not especially politically savvy, but follow the news enough to know who Bernie Sanders sort of is.
