Last night Mrs. Aristus said: "I'm sort of, kind of, not a Republican anymore."

I've been waiting for years to hear that.

She has believed a lot of the negative stuff about Hillary, but I think, in the end, she will vote for her.

1. That's great, my dear Aristus!

I remember when my parents who were long-term Republicans switched their affiliation to Democratic. I was thrilled! They were just fed up with the whole song and dance, and besides, they liked Joe Biden.

5. I found two of my staunch republican clients

at our democratic debate party. I had to run after the debates and didn't get to speak to them, but they were there rooting for Hillary and wearing campaign buttons.

You know that feeling you get when you see someone you know but the context is wrong. What are they doing here?

The previous week I ran into another who had switched parties in 2004 and had gotten one of her never-voting employees to register as a democrat. His whole family is now registered as democrats and his daughter is working on HFA.

I hope to see all three of them again in the coming weeks. What a game changer, seeing people come onboard the HRC camp, speaking about how the media hype has distorted the likable giving Hillary we all know.

6. See? Republicanism IS curable!

It's scary that the most effective cure to date has to be medicine as toxic as Trump.

I have friends who refuse to vote Hillary but cannot stand Trump. I always suggest Gary Johnson and to work harder for a better candidate in 2020
