My Vietnam vet wingnut brother says Trump scares the hell out of him.

Bro says he can't vote for Trump because he's nuts! He's not sure if he'll vote for Hillary or just sit this one out. I figure either way it's a vote for Hillary. He's never voted for a Dem IN HIS LIFE! He's having a Road to Damascus moment I think, poor fella. It must be brutal knowing all the votes of your adult life have led to a piss-headed, narcissistic, egomaniacal cartoon of a candidate.


BUT I STILL LOVE YOU BRO!

Even if they say they will outwardly. (Thinking of you Paul Ryan). Once you're in the voting booth you can vote for anyone. Trump is nuts!!!!! As the campaign wears on, more people will see this. I don't think it's possible for Trump to contain the crazy enough to appeal to the mainstream voters he will need.

There is a house for sale about 4 blocks from my home that has a 'Veterans for Trump' sign on the front door. The rest of the neighborhood has Hillary or Bernie signs. I can't believe the realtor hasn't told the owner to remove the sign; it's not good for business, especially in my neighborhood.
