Totally anecdotal but I take great pleasure in it

I had the opportunity to be in a far East Texas conservative town this weekend. I was working in a small community hospital. I've learned long ago to never talk politics because I know where I live.
Anyway....I was in an area with 6 women.
Every last one of them were appalled at what Trump said and every single one of them said that they would not vote for him under any circumstance.
These are likely Republican women.
And he has lost most of them.

The booths of the GOP & Democrats were next to each other at the end of the street. What I noted later was 2 Democratic yard signs carried by people but 6 Trump/Pence Signs being carried by mostly women and one woman in a Trump T-Shirt.

I don't think that bodes well at all...

East Texas is the most culturally conservative part of the Lone Star State.
