I know they're out there, my brother in law is one.

But only because my sister keeps his cojones in her purse.

Then why do we not yet have a ninth Supreme Court Justice? Seems to me that the senate is being very effective at obstructing the process.

Because the President is a lame duck and there was an election coming up duh. The senate won't be able to block Hillary's communist picks for long if she is elected.

Me too. But I'm also college educated.

64% of our demographic without a college degree is voting for Trump, while only 29% are voting for Hillary.

Well, there you might have a point, particularly since FiveThirtyEight is calling for the Democrats to control Senate.

Basically. I actually have some serious issues with Clinton (emails not being one of them), but I have far more issues with Trump.

I would support whoever wins though and would hope the entire country would.

We found you out. . Maybe.
I own my own business. But I actually don't have a problem with the federal government either.

Are you a government contractor? Washington is fed on government money no matter what the endeavor.

Being an old white person in a very diverse community, neighbors all think I voted for Trump.

Perhaps you need one of those bumper stickers' thanks G-d I'm not a Republican".

Or just no bumper sticker period! I find them to be tacky, obnoxious and ruin a cars look, when I see cars that have tons of bumper stickers I always wonder why, even younger I never wanted to decorate my car that way.
