Crazy times we are living.

Had a conversation the other day with my solid, right wing brother. We haven't talked since Christmas. At that time, I think, he was leaning toward Carly Fiorina and he also liked Trump.

But, things have changed!

So weird.

He now hates Trump!
Of course, he has always hated Clinton but now, likes her better than Trump ....

However, he did admit that "crazy Bernie" has his heart in the right place and that was more than he could say for the other two. He just doesn't think Bernie's plans are economically feasible.

We both agreed that it is surreal that both presumptive nominees are under investigation.
He does not know how he will vote in November.

How's that happen?

they will try to find something to try and crucify him. Just to keep him tied up. I have faith in Bernie, very little in congress.
