Good News / Bad News from the "dark side"

My dear sister, whom I love and cherish, is a die-hard right winger who always, always, always votes for the Republican ticket no matter who is running. Now she tells me she will never, under any circumstances, vote for Hillary Clinton. That's the bad news. The good news is that she also says she will never vote for Donald Trump either. She finds him disgusting and morally degenerate.

It makes me wonder, since she has always been such a faithful Republican, how many other faithful Republicans will refuse to vote for Trump this year. It makes me think that, perhaps, Trump might be even further behind than the polls indicate. It makes me optimistic that this could become the biggest blowout election in U.S. history.

In a red state that's a good thing bc if his supporters go to 3rd party it could give Hillary a greater chance to win a few red states. Unlikely, but possible

1984 has only 1 state and DC. The least amount of states trump will get is 10.
