Look at where we are now. The left, motivated by a visceral hatred for all things Republican (which used to be synonymous with conservatism) and especially Donald Trump, has become so bloody wacky they're happy to rub elbows with the Socialists, Democratic Socialists or whatever they like to call themselves this week. Democrats from eras past are rolling over in their graves.
Anyway, since polls are so unreliable these days, I'm sure we won't be able to count on anything until election day.
On the lighter side, I've discovered that I'm not the only one who is not enamored with Willie. Others have come out of the closet -- privately, of course, for fear of being accused of Willie Derangement Syndrome. There are precious few safe places to speak an ill word about Willie.
I'm not optimistic, but I am cautious. Too many conservatives are overly optimistic. When most (50+%) of the voters we call i.e "liberal idiots" voted for Hillary, they pose a very serious threat to the remaining conservatives. It's closer than we think. We have to work hard to convince a few of them to switch liberal their positions before the next election.

As far as Willie is concerned, I just ignore his political views. There are no safe places in Texas to speak ill of him. If you dislike him, don't listen to his music, buy his records, or attend his concerts.
