Trump pushes another to vote against him

First, some background. This guy that's in our luncheon group is an exceedingly conservative, Libertarian-type. He has never voted for a Democrat.
Over the past four years Trump has slowly been losing this guy. He was at, "I won't for either." when they took the mail boxes. But, what pushed him into the "I'll vote for Biden because Trump has to go." was Trump's call for the Fox News reporter to be fired
We used to have weekly lunches together (a bunch of the expats living in Japan), and have gone to twice a month lunch and twice a month Skype. He is just irate.
I'm good with it. A very conservative Minnesotan for Biden
The guy is pretty big on what he calls the 3 most important freedoms; Speech, Assembly and Press

That makes our group 14 Biden, 1 Trump, 2 Not sure
6 of the Biden voters are Republicans; it took work and patience, but it has paid off
The 1 trumpie is TFG = Too Far Gone. He doesn't say much any more because he's now outgunned.

Forgot to mention, he's not voting for ANY republicans this time

You don't have to be confrontational or gloating or anything. Plant the seed: Really? After all this (run down a list of Trump's more egregious sins, six or seven should do it), you still don't know that Trump doesn't deserve your vote?
