    Pretty demoralizing reading through their answers to various questions.

    A 69 year old lady from IO said she leans towards voting for Trump again because of his business acumen. Indicating the information about his fraudulent biz practices, bankruptcies, and dependence on his dad's fortune have not penetrated her tin foil hat. "I like the business skills, but that’s got to be coupled with following the Constitution and getting back to constitutional law." IRONY ALERT!!

    A 35 year old guy from NV said......"Career politicians have created a dystopian world, and it doesn’t matter who we vote for." He must think career politicians elect themselves. He also believes, in response to a question about what would make America safer, that....."We need to get the children back into some sort of discipline program." What that means is anyone's guess. Aren't parents responsible for instilling a sense of discipline in to their kids?

    A 65 year old man from SC said........."I’m never really sure what the real story is with these wars. Half of me thinks it’s a distraction from what’s really going on. I think there’s likely some very nefarious things going on behind the scenes." Another example of conspiratorial thinking rampant on the Right. He also said......
    "Honestly, I just wish Robert F. Kennedy would be a Republican nominee. He’s running as an independent. But he sounds Republican at heart." Agreed. Junior is a nut.

    Amy, a 51 year old from SC, said on what she's looking for in a presidential candidate........."I want to feel confident that there’s not backdoor deals going on that are lining their personal pockets and their child’s pockets." Sounds like she's been paying attention to the baseless allegations made against Joe, but paid no attention to Trump's grifting while in office.

    And then, a glimmer of hope. One man said of Trump......"He is more of an entertainer than he is a politician. Obama was a statesman. He looked like a president. And I think, in a lot of ways, Trump is the polar opposite of that." Amen.
