In reply to the discussion: Congratulations Jasmine Crockett. [View all]3catwoman3
(29,721 posts)46. It is a baccalaureate program...
and the grandson is in the commercial aviation track.
At a very recent family gathering, it came to light that this grandson is a Trump supporter. His parents are horrified, and feel this may be the result of influence of the conservative attitudes of the kids classmates. Both parents are retired military, and consider themselves Independents. Their last assignment was in Cheyenne WY, and they retired there, so this kid has been in a red state for the last several years of his life.
Like Owen, he is an only child.
Everyone hopes he will outgrow this aberration. I know I would find it very difficult if either of our sons were right wingers. Happily, there is zero chance of that happening.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett blows me away every time I hear her speak. I eagerly await the government they'll build.
