I just overheard an interesting conversation, a man said to another that

he got his voters registration card for the the November 8 election. The other one just said, don't dare tell anyone you are going to vote for Hillary or you'll end up on an internet list and the redhats will harass you and get you fired from your job at best, or they'll kill you at worst!

It got me thinking about how accurate are the polls, if this is wide spread.

Could Hillary actually be much further ahead because people won't admit they'll be voting for her out of fear for their lives?

First time I've heard that term to describe Trump supporters. It has the elegance of "the brown shirts" combined with the racism of "the dark skins."

And one of the hosts was bitching to his listeners about their apparent lack of enthusiasm for Trumppants.

Of course, he was complaining that Hil would destroy America. But he also suggested that the harm that Trump could inflict is better than the pushback on regressive RW policies after Hillary puts in new SCOTUS justices.

They are trapped and they're scared.

The nutcases are going to continue to support Trump. But those on the edge are going to peel off because Trump is too much for them.

Hopefully there's more secretly pro-HRC than there are secretly pro-Trump.
