I just talked with a store (sprouts) checkout guy. At the early voting location in that shopping center 600 already voted in first few hours. He said "we're all afraid of Trump". This is a republican leaning area of Albuquerque here.

(6,977 posts)In and around a very red district of San Diego (Escondido), and he tells me that while tRump will have his share of support there, he knows of MANY Republicans who he works with and who he lives around who've told him that while they're not wild about Hillary, they're not voting at all or that many of them will be voting for Hillary. Even his friends/family who are voting for tRump express deep concern because of his close ties to Putin and because of his strict stance on abortion.
Hold on now.
While many love his economic policies, they're also afraid that a Pres. tRump could allow Putin to run "wild" in Europe and have too much influence on our country (mostly his male friends), and his female friends who are wives/mothers/young and single say they're afraid he'd appoint justices who could overturn Roe v Wade--even in cases where the life of the mother is at risk or if they're the victim of rape or a young girl/child is the victim of incest--yet that group of his friends are STILL voting for him
