There are a lot of people sucking it up and voting for Trump because of party loyalty, but...

They might decide it's not worth it if Trump is getting blown out. I don't know if they would leave the presidential line blank, or just not show up. If they do either, things could get interesting.

as I was filing out my own ballot. He's a screamer. Silent went Hillary is on and changes channel. Silent when Trump is on and also changes the channel. With exception of Perot, he's always voted Republicans (tells me) for 40 years. BTW, he didn't turn off the TV when Obama was on calling Trump a whiner. That is amazing!

Except he's going Johnson this time around, and keeps trying to get me to look in that direction bc we both know Stein's a nutter. But he's practically staunch in Johnson's corner this time around, meanwhile I'm just here like "he's just a republican who wants to smoke pot, not sure why you weren't going for him from the start..."

loyalty. I said, but he's anti semitic et al. He said he doesn't like him but he is going to be loyal to his party. Hopefully his wife (Clinton supporter) will work on him...I know I did...hope I gave him something to think about.
