bewildered by Trump. They simply cannot believe that he is actually the nominee of the Republican Party. They have seen plenty in their lives, so when they say "What are these people thinking?" it is very telling. They have both already voted early for Hillary in the June 7th California primary. My dad follows politics closely and cuts every anti Trump cartoon out of his newspaper to share with me. My mom doesn't follow the issues etc. as closely but just says Trump looks, sounds and acts like an idiot. She asked me to help her mark her vote by mail ballot (her hands are little shaky). She told me to mark it for Hillary and then on the down ballot choices (Senator etc.) to vote for the Democrat and if there is more than one Democrat choose the woman. So cute!
