13. I have some conservative friends who switched from Trump in the past week

One recently retired as editor-in-chief of a conservative newspaper. He's an Army vet and father of an Afghan War combat vet and was an embedded reporter in Iraq early in the war. He made a Facebook post strongly supporting the Khans.

Another is a HS teacher who for many years has guided student projects supporting the troops, vets and military families. Her students recently conceived and successfully executed a project that raised nearly a half million dollars and built adjacent homes for a disabled Iraq War vet and his caregivers. More recently, they repaired severe storm damage to a disabled Vietnam vet's home. She's now off Trump and is seriously considering voting Libertarian. She normally doesn't do political posts on Facebook but she did in this case.
