Family is visiting us here this week and I got an eye-opener when two educated, fairly conservative women almost gagged when I mentioned Trump. . So just a tiny personal thing but they were so emphatic I just wondered if this is a more widespread sentiment among somewhat non-political types who are voters

Interesting. Everyone I talked with over the Holidays was a. pro Trump and pro Cruz, about half and half. b. Very Worried about the election in November. Many comments like, "our last chance," "we're on the brink," "we're at a crossroads as a country," and, in general, people very worried about their children and grandchildren, jobs, debt, terrorism, Islam, immigration and you name it. .

Here in my area of Florida's central Gulf coast, about everyone I talk to is for Trump. How do I know? Because I get lots of folks approaching me wherever I am to say a few words because my red Trump hat catches their eyes. Haven't had a nasty or a hater yet.

I have to say, in ALL honesty, no one, but no one, mentions Cruz in chatting, and I give them every opportunity...and I'll bet my last bippy a goodly number of them don't even know who he is except his name is somewhat familiar to them.

And if you asked them where Cruz is from, or ask then what one word describes his ideology, or what present office he holds, etc. not one would know shiite from shinola.

I'd just LOVE to do Jesse Watter's "Man on the Street" interviews for one-half hour on the main street district of my Florida town regarding Cruz.

BTW, I live in Realville, Florida....and Cruz just doesn't have "it".
