re: #82 Bill and Opus for 2016!

I actually got interviewed for an exit poll by an AP reporter today after voting, since the precinct I live in is close to 50-50 on a Democratic/Republican split demographically.

She asked who I voted for (Clinton) and why her instead of Sanders (because although there are several things I agree with Sanders on, I realize there’s no chance in hell they would be implemented in today’s political climate, and some of his views are too far to the left for my political tastes.)

I was then asked about what I thought about the Republican campaign - I told her that it could be summed up in two words - an “absolute disgrace”. When asked to elaborate, I said that the three frontrunners on that side were the worst of the worst that a political party could offer - Donald Trump, a fascist wanna-be (and yes, I DID use those words) who almost daily gives lip service to white supremacists, and Cruz and Rubio, who repeatedly put their bigoted fundamentalist religious views far ahead of the rule of constitutional law.

Better than I would have done.

Q: Why Hillary instead of Bernie?
A: Because

Q: What about the Republican campaign?
A: Fuck those guys.

Q: Can you elaborate?
A: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
