...I do talk to them. They are more of the "shake up the system" type. They don't follow politics closely... the watch FOX "News" for the personality, legs and cleavage. The didn't like Congress, Obama, Hillary or Jeb Bush. They liked Bernie because he was new - to them, of course; they'd never heard of him before 2016. I think they feel guilty about supporting Trump, but don't want to accept blame.
