Now remember I live in a very red county in Texas. Normally there aren't even any democrat or other choices to even vote for.

My Mother in law. She is really a sweetheart. My father in law was mainly a republican voter. She doesn't really keep up with what the parties differences are. I keep it low key trying to convert her.

Four of my next door neighbors. A really elderly couple and their daughter and son in law who move in to help them. Both the father and son in law were preachers. They run the "christian" broadcasting network all day. The father and mother are in bad shape. He is showing signs of dementia.

All of them are lifetime r's and don't really follow news enough to see what has happened to their party.
