2016 Election

I just wanted to share an anecdote (yes plural of anecdote is not data) about a friend of mine here in AZ. She is strongly Christian and conservative, very much a Reagan Republican (self made independent business woman). Well she has burnt her membership card and changed her voter registration to Independent, quite publicly too. Now she is unlikely to ever vote Hillary but quite clearly Trump is not getting her vote either. This is/was a strongly held core belief of hers to the extent that discussing it with my wife who put it into perspective, it is just one small step below renouncing Jesus for her. This was not done lightly.
Could be very interesting times for the GOP.

Wishy-washy statement from Paul Ryan. Looks like he's going to use his endorsement as a bargaining chip for Trump saying the right (in more ways the one) things:

Seems Trump loves Hispanics now, and the best Taco Bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill.

I guess Mexicans can now be grateful to Trump for putting in a good word for tacos instead of rapists and criminals. He might even go as far as to praise the qualities of cous cous when it comes to Muslims and of course he loves em
