13. Its not has bad as it sounds

Besides, by replying I am kicking up the thread.

But mostly just my dad's side of the family leans right. My mom's side, (they are divorced since the mid 80's) leans way left. She voted Hilary. She is also in FL, the Tampa area, and she early voted. Her side of family is mostly in Texas, some in CA. All of Mexican decent, and 90% blue. And they broke 70-30 in favor of Hillary over Bernie.

My husband who voted absentee, as he right now works in Spain is a dem. I think he voted for Bernie. He was still on the fence between the two. He likes both, and will support who ever wins in the GE. My son, if he votes will vote Bernie but gladly vote Hillary in the GE. My daughter was toying with voting for Bernie, but ended up early voting for Hillary. She is a nurse and not off today so she voted over the weekend. My husband has big family but most of them are dems. Couple of odd ball repugs but we don't talk politics so there is no problems. Most of my husband's dem family members are supporting Hillary, about 70-30. They are of German by way of Wisconsin.

So like I said, it's not has bad as it sounds.
