as I am a RI resident.

This place is a complete shit show. Our governor (who only won with 40% of the vote and happens to be angling for a future with a Clinton administration) is run by a PR firm. Everything she does is for image and we are just along for the ride. Her people paid big money to land her in Forbes' Top 50 Smartest Leaders or some shit.

Our roads are a disgrace, our taxes are a disgrace, our education system is a disgrace, so the polling situation is NO surprise.

Here's the bad part. Yes we are a semi-open primary. But the Indys are going to Trump. I've been phonebanking and canvassing. It's not looking terrible but its not looking great. The people we would count on are all going to the dark side. And he is going to win in epic fashion as he did in MA.

RI is a mess. (Sadly we are Dems in power from the top down)
