Pretty embarrassing, actually. I have two close repub friends and been friends with them since childhood. They both started out as anyone but Trump. One ended up voting Libertarian and the other reluctantly voted for Trump. The Libertarian voter still hates Trump and the other guy is now defending him even saying there must be something to the Obama wire tapping thing. I just say 'fucking listen to yourself. You saw quite clearly what Trump was when Marco Rubio was running against him."
