May 2016

She voted for Obama twice. She voted, as did I, for Bernie in our Az primary.
But she will not vote for Hillary. I asked her--"What about a Trump presidency? What about the
Supreme Court?" She said "I can't vote for Hillary." I've learned over the years that arguing with
her is futile.
It is amazing that the two most unpopular public figures in America are what we will probably have
as candidates. In my 65 years I have never seen a cycle like this.
Then again, Bernie may be able to pull this out.
The curtain has been pulled back--anyone who is remotely aware sees the insane machinations
of the political system.
