"MORE FORMER REPUBLICANS VOTE FOR SANDERS - 1:25 P.M.
Scott and Phyllis Singleton said they usually vote Republican, but they went to Pendleton Street Baptist Church in Easley to cast their ballots Saturday for Bernie Sanders.

Their son, Hunter, a graduate student at Winthrop, came home to vote for the first time – also for the senator from Vermont.
Phyllis, a 50-year-old homemaker, said she likes Sanders, “Because he’s for everybody. All people. For the little man.”
For her husband, it was more of a vote against Hillary Clinton – and against Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.
“I’m scared of Trump. I’m scared of his politics. He never really tells you anything,” the 56-year-old diesel mechanic said. “It’s just rhetoric, it’s nothing concrete. I’m just scared of what he might do.”

As far as Sanders goes, he said, “I like Bernie, he’s a nice man. But more so I voted to keep Hillary out. I don’t want Hillary in. She has a lot of power, and I’m tired of the Clintons being in politics.”"

I never stopped to think about the Republicans scared to death of trump but hate Hillary.
