6. Let me tell you from first hand

experience that Sun City has a large and active Democratic Club.

These are not country club Republicans. When Del Webb first conceived Sun City he went up to the auto plants of Michigan and recruited blue collar workers into his dream of retirement in a warm inexpensive place where everyman (and his wife) could swim and play golf and attend free concerts just like the rich guys. And that's what a lot of Sun City was and still is.

Disclaimer: I don't live there, but close enough to know many wonderful old-school Democrats, some now departed, who live (and lived) there.

His real opposition is the Democrat in the general. We will see if Sun City can be out-voted! 63splitwindow Sep 2016 #2
