FWIW my son in law and his die hard republican family

[ALBliberal]

will not vote for President if Trump is the nominee. His parents live in Oklahoma. His brother in DC. Daughter and family here in NM.

I asked: what if RFK Jr runs as libertarian? And she laughed out loud.

She of course is in the Biden column.

I know it’s anecdotal. Sure gives me hope tough.

These people reject Trump.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

1. good

[spanone]

2. K&R

[elleng]

3. Thanks for every bit of hope.

[oldsoftie]

4. I have the same anecdotal experience. 4 people. NO longer trumpers

Its going tp come down to the Dems getting a big turnout

[Walleye]

5. Be sure and tell them that not voting for Biden is the same as voting for Trump

[ALBliberal]

8. Sorta look at it as not voting for Trump is half a vote for

Biden. I do get where you’re coming from though.

Oklahoma will go Trump.
DC and NM Biden.

These folks vote down ballot Republican. And we will not have political discussions. Maybe my daughter will influence them at some point.

I hope many other Republicans will just not show up.

[HighFired49]

16. Oklahoma is a lost cause

Right now with 65% of votes counted Trump has 156,000+ and Biden has 44,000+.

[Aussie105]

6. I'm guessing . . .

That Republicans who saw Trump as a shining hope for their inner wish fulfillment look back at his failed performance while in office, and are bored with Trump.

Or at least not wanting a replay of Trump's dismal performance in his 4 years in the White House.

Even children who are promised something by their parents get tired of waiting when the promises don't materialise.

[Beartracks]

25. The problem with Trumpers is they'll continue to be Trumpers even after Trump.

It's their nature. It's why they love him, and, more importantly, what he stands for. MAGA is an unfortunate mindset that predates it's being identified as "MAGA." And that won't change with them, even after Trump's in the dustbin of history, or the slammer.

7. Good.

I'm glad to hear some people are paying attention and realizing dump doesn't give a hoot about them. He's just a user.

[JohnSJ]

9. They have escaped the bubble.

[NBachers]

10. But but all the polls say . . .

[ALBliberal]

12. Exactly. People with a moral code will reject Trump.

[lees1975]

13. Exit polls are showing that a third of Republicans are reaching this conclusion.

Even tonight, MSNBC has mentioned this a couple of times. In some places, its even higher than that.

So have hope. Trump kills everything he touches and he's past his prime on the Presidency. He had a shot, failed, and he's not going to get another one.

[PortTack]

28. Exactly..yet here and according to those that watch CABLE orange man had a spectacular win ...OH BULL SHIT

[calimary]

11. Every little bit!

If there are enough of them, those little bits can turn into whole mountain ranges.

[ZonkerHarris]

14. My GOP Mom just voted for Nikki Haley in todays CA primary.

yeah she voted Trump the last two times. sigh
I saw it as a good sign too.

[ALBliberal]

15. Yay!!!! A good sign:))

[happybird]

19. I've got a GOP mother, too,

who also voted for him twice so I feel your pain. Since we live in the same state, we joke about how our votes cancel each other’s out. My father votes blue so we are still coming out ahead, at least in my immediate family.

[Dorian Gray]

17. Neither of my parents will vote for Trump

they're in Florida. They didn't last time. (They did in 16.). My dad pulled the lever for Biden last time and my mom abstained. This time I think they're both abstaining. They really don't like Biden. They really hate trump. And they're in their late 80s and feel like voting is up to us who will have to live with the results long term.

I don't know whether to be happy they're not voting R or be sad they won't vote for Biden, but I'll take it for now. (Getting them to move toward Biden would be easier than Trump, so there's still time.)

[lindysalsagal]

18. Heard the same thing from a woman I know. R but not tfg.

[lark]

20. My die hard R friend won't vote for trump - at least in the primaries.

Hoping she doesn't vote for him in the general as well, but she's 81 and has voted in every election for the R or not voted at all on that line - like with Rick Scott.

[usonian]

21. He was the man who would be king.

The "World's greatest winner" suffered loss after loss, and like with football, after losing endlessly, people stop watching, and only diehard fans remain.

Or the team just leaves town. No Oakland or San Diego team(s) in particular. They move so often in these money grabs that one needs a scorecard to track moves.

A new grift awaits.

These billion dollar stadiums at taxpayer expense are the greatest grift outside of politics.

Hotels and golf courses are not funded this way.

And he did try to get in to football.

[hueymahl]

22. RFK is going to be a problem

Just not sure yet if the problem is bigger for Trump or Biden

[SWBTATTReg]

30. I suspect (and I'm guessing here), that he's going to be more of a problem to tRUMP than he is w/ Pres.

Biden. I would have thought by now that these so called 3rd party candidates would have gotten the drift that they are not going anywhere being an independent candidate. I suspect that Kennedy is running solely on his name recognition and nothing else. He exploded onto the scene and viola! He expected that Oh, a Kennedy, vote for him!! Yeah, right.

He doesn't come close to the charisma that either John or Robert Kennedy had before either of them was shot. I still grieve for them today.

[ALBliberal]

31. I think he will draw more Republicans

I’m seeing this happen with my anti vax republican nephew down in Texas. He’s all in for RFK jr.

[Otterdaemmerung]

23. I live in Tennessee

... albeit in the big blue dot of Memphis, and I'm chomping at the bit to get out of this state and move to NM. Las Cruces, to be exact. I can't stomach the idea of giving my future tax revenues to this state.

[ALBliberal]

32. Las Cruces is awesome. We are in Albuquerque.

Truly a good place to be.

[MuseRider]

24. Little tidbits of hope are a GREAT thing

for all of us. It was a dismal morning here. We need something to hope on, thanks!

[Turbineguy]

26. Hope is good.

I hope enough people figure this out. It's not that difficult.

[PortTack]

27. Thank you for posting...I think there's a lot more of ppl like your family than what the so called election

guru at msnbc is saying that Biden voters are switching to frump! That’s just nuts!

[BaronChocula]

29. Anecdotal but part of a larger trend

In 2024 we're seeing less Trump crap on people's lawns and we're hearing from more ex-trumpophiles (being polite). I don't hear the word being used in the mainstream news (surprise) but this is real-time trump fatigue. My feeling is that the fatigue will only grow.

[Cherokee100]

33. I'm jealous

My son in law, ordered his two oldest boys, to vote for 'orange jesus/benedict donald', in 2020. One did, the other one moved out. Trump/Putin truly is dividing this country.

[ALBliberal]

34. Truer words never said.

I don’t like these in laws’ politics but I credit them for being supportive of Covid vaccine when my daughter insisted (if they were to see their grandson) and other vaccine updates she required of all of us. And I credit them with using their morals and brains to discern that Trump is caca. I don’t believe my son in law ever voted MAGA. Moving him to Dem column? I’ll leave that to my daughter.

Yay for the kiddo that moved out! I hope he’s doing well in life.

[KPN]

35. Good to hear.

[Cha]

36. TY!
