They think Trump is either a hero or a zero - my conversation with a county employee in west Florida

We asked her what the liberal versus conservative spread was among county employees these days. She's a liberal by the way. Her answer had nothing to do with right or left. She said it's all about Trump, and it's either one extreme or the other; he's either a "hero or a zero," and she said it was pretty much evenly distributed.

Off the bat that tells me two things: 1) we live in a very, very red area, so a 50/50 spread means many more people are turning on Trump and 2) there is no Republican party anymore - it's fully become the cultist party of Trump.

He’s got his blindfold on already, he should pose in front of his wall.

Here, just north of you, I don't think any county employee would even answer the question, given our idiot Trump humping county commissioners.

However, the FL Dems are doing a phone banking initiative to continue getting people to register for VBM. Citrus County Dems made more than 700 calls last weekend. Most were not answered, but they did speak to 200 people. Of that 200, 160 registered for VBM!

I'm figuring at the rate we're going, many of the Republicans will have died off by November embracing their freedom to eat in a restaurant or get a tattoo.
