from a group I belong to that have said much the same thing. I have watched them evolve this election season and it is quite interesting. We barely talk politics, I don't do much in the way of politics on my FB page but we talk about other things. THEY do politic on their pages and I have watched them grow silent since this all started. Most of the tea friends have told me that they will not vote for Trump, Cruz or Hillary and they actually think that much of what Bernie says is pretty good and all but one of that group has told me if it comes down to Bernie, Trump or Cruz they will vote for Bernie easily if not completely happy about it. A few like Rubio and most are OK with Kasich but would rather see Bernie because he seems honest and energetic about getting things done. The Trump supporters won't even consider talking about anyone else. I have heard this a lot with more casual acquaintances as well. It is all a small group in the long run, very incidental, but very honest when my friends write to me expressing their liking "my guy" quite a lot. As has been said before, they would vote for anyone but Hillary. It is very common for me to hear a similar statement that they would essentially walk over hot coals to vote against her. When I mention how closely she actually mirrors much of what they think they don't care, it is the Clinton family that they do not want to see in the White House. One even told me that after the Bushes they are done with repeat family members. It really took a special kind of stupid to continue to support Little Boots.

Not important but it does certainly support your post. Very interesting election. I wish it was not so scary.
