Indiana Republican voters in a nutshell

https://twitter.com/IndyEmmaKate/status/993858069321994240

"The voters I talked to here were hesitant to discuss the Senate race.

One man said he voted for Rokita, but he wasn’t a fan of the three candidates’ campaigns.

“I think they’re all pretty much idiots. They all made us feel like we didn’t have any brains.”

Basically says that he doesn't like any of the candidates, so he voted for the most Trump-like one.

Indiana Boy Scout leader in response to those upset about Scouts name change: "Get over it."

In the wake of the news that the word "Boy" will be dropped from the Boy Scouts name, adults with ties to the scouting world have offered their takes on the change.

Some praise it as the next big step for the Boy Scouts of America they grow with the times and accept girls as scouts. Others criticize it as the beginning for the end for an organization they have long held dear.

To the latter, a Hamilton and Tipton County leader within the scouting community offers a simple rebuttal.

"Get over it," said Kevin Aldrich, a member-at-large of the Del-Mi District, part of the Crossroads of America Council for the Boy Scouts of America. "The scout program is the finest youth program in the world and there's no reason to not be co-ed. There is every reason to be co-ed. The Future Farmers of America is co-ed. 4-H is co-ed. Band in school is co-ed. There's no valid reason not to be co-ed."
