My Republican Brother

I love him, he's not a nut case, just a moderate republican. However we had a brief phone conversation the other day about the presidential candidates and he said that if the nominees were Trump or Cruz that he would not vote. He likes Kasich.

He also said that he thinks Bernie is a good guy and as honest as the day is long, but he doesn't agree with his politics. He used to live 4 doors down from Bernie and still lives in Burlington. He likes the guy personally.

I am hoping that there are more republicans that think the way he does.

That would make him more appealing to those that vote more on appearance rather than substance in the general.
