Had lunch today with an old friend

He is usually an apolitical person. He thinks the country has hit rock bottom and twitler will not make it to the end of his term. He’s a bartender and listens daily to people who supported twitler in 2016 now they are disgusted by him and will vote democratic in November. My friend thinks this country will move forward after twitler is completely exposed.

I sure hope he’s right!

Trump voters are rubes, marks.

Admitting you got taken by a con man is not easy. Right now they're clinging bitterly.

....as the quintessential "successful businessman". He was a celebrity and Americans are suckers for that.

The place he bartends at is a bar where there are the long time rethugs generationally. In SF we call them the Irish Catholic Sunset district boys. These guys are long time rethugs and a bit racist. Not all of SF is liberal there is this subset here that is somewhat racist and twitlers rhetoric was appealing to them.

Believe it or not 37,688 people voted for twitler 9.23% in SF
