My Republican wife told me this morning she is voting for Hillary

Trump's performance in the debate last night settled it for her. She was at least hoping that Trump would do at least okay but he didn't even come close to meeting that low standard, and in her opinion, Trump would embarrass this nation if he were to be President.

She still doesn't like Hillary but did praise her demeanor and command of the issues.

But I am not to tell her parents this as they are die hard Republicans, Trump fanatics and utterly loathe Hillary.

Hillary is a faithful, church-going member of the United Methodist Chuch and has been for years, unlike the Donald's conveniently-timed, photo-op "conversion."

She was never on board for Trump though and was probably not going to vote, but last night convinced her to stop him by voting for Hill...go Mom! In FL too!

Most of them will probably be women who want to keep that choice to themselves for one reason or another.
