Really. Is anyone surprised that Republicans are crossing over to vote for HRC?

Yes, We are us and they are them, but this race is different. I find myself talking to people with whom I have had little in common politically expressing real disdain for Trump.

Lots of elderly and retirees down there. For a lot of women, this may be their last chance to see a female president in their lifetimes. I'm sure that's a powerful sentiment.

I suspect more surges similar to what we just saw in the early voter returns in Florida. I think there is a hidden voting bloc out there that will go to Clinton.

It makes perfect sense. That said, I suspect that we may differ on what we believe to be the reasons why?
