who are strong Southern Baptists. These guys are both in their early 60's and active in the church. They don't like Trump and can't believe that he is the Republican candidate and I'm not sure either one will vote for him. Of course, they won't vote for Hillary either, but it lends credence to reports that Trump is losing support among white males.
