Let's be fair, they were very helpful if you needed to be picked up. I mean, they'd send you a Black Maria and all.

I can't wait to see you crying on 9 November. I'll take a wild stab in the dark and bet you'll be whining about "November Criminals".

The good news is that I've got plenty of time to lay in popcorn for what is sure to be a hilarious meltdown.

I think Trump would win. The Clintons went to his wedding he can use events like that against her. But I will also say this: Only about half of the fifty-seven primaries have concluded: Things can still change majorly. It doesn't have to be Clinton VS Trump. Several huge states have yet to vote, e.g. California, New York, Pennsylvania.

No it would not. It would council out or get even worse for him. The risk of trying to get swing voters, with that tactic would come at the cost of the establishment GOP voters who hate her. My mom is a long time GOP voter and she would NEVER vote for Hillary, so it would be stupid for Trump to claim they were/are friends.

That would be the stupidest tactic he could pull, the base would run ever further from him.

I can only imagine the hell you give her about this.

I mainly was referring to the Democratic side. The states favour Senator Sanders from now. And we still don't have the Democrats Abroad results either. Democrats Abroad had their debate, via video, which Clinton was apparently too busy to go to because she was at a private fund raiser. She had two campaign representatives debate Sanders for her if I remember rightly. She is so smug and arrogant.

Oh we do talk about it and have raised our voices over it, but unlike the nuts I run into on the net, she doesn't see me, nor do I see her as "fight to the death" enemies. 

I don't blame her for her long term voting habits, I do blame the GOP and Farts News for scaring the crap out of her.

When we discuss social issues and economics, we agree. The only thing that causes our division is party label. She really is a democrat.

Me, "Mom, do you value pro choice?"

Mom, "Yes"

Me, "Do you think workers don't make enough?"

Mom, "Yes"

Me, " Do you think we don't do enough about gun death?"

Mom, "Yes"

Me, "Do you think women deserve equal pay?"

Mom, "Yes"

Me, "Do you think your rent is too high?"

Mom, "Yes"

Me, "Then why do you vote for that party?"

Mom, "I don't want to talk about it".

That is literally how our conversations go. Now when I say she votes republican, she is more a centrist swing voter and to her credit LIKES Bernie. But she does not like Trump or Hillary. I don't know how she will vote if they go up against each other. But it pisses me off to no end to know mentally she agrees with me on everything, but is voting against her own self interests.

But, that is how fear in politics work. The powerful point down to the rest of society and say "You better watch out for the other guy" while they protect their own profits.

So what does she not like about the democratic party?
