My son just made my day.

My son is leaning on 40 almost as hard as I am leaning on 70. He works for a large grocery chain here in Northern KY as a meat cutter. A few weeks ago he was bemoaning the fact that all of the guys he works with are all Trump supporters.

Today he happened to casually mention that NONE of them are supporting Trump any more. They can't quite bring themselves to vote for Hillary, but they say they are voting for Johnson! Now, the way I figure it, if a Bernie supporter votes for Johnson, it is really a vote for Trump. So, if a Trump supporter votes for Johnson, it is really a vote for Hillary! Here. In Kentucky. Trump supporters have seen that he is way too far out for even them to stomach. I have no doubts that Trump will win Ky. But if he is losing support here, think about the battleground states!

My mom is now voting for Hillary. Young Republicans I know are still thinking Johnson. I hope Johnson pulls from Trump here and could cause Hillary to win

but I'll sure be keeping my fingers crossed. And be looking for some down-ballot surprises as well. Bevin hasn't given the baggers a whole lot to cheer about,

I think there will be a few election night SHOCKERS for Hillary this election; and I'm loving it! Good luck in KY! Never give up!
