Good news! My republican brother and sister-in-law would vote for Hillary over Trump!

I hadn't seen my brother for about a year, but he was visiting from Texas this weekend. We haven't talked about politics much, since it tends to be divisive. I was a little afraid he was a Trump supporter, but it turns out that he and his wife are for Rubio...and are absolutely opposed to Trump. They both said that they would gladly vote for Clinton over Trump. I'm hoping that they are just two of many who would do the same!

My mother is a marginal Republican (she voted for Obama twice), but will vote for Clinton over ANY of the three front runners. If it were Sanders, however, she'd stay home--she just doesn't like him at all.

Her neighbors were staunch Rubio supporters (and Evangelical, extremely conservative sorts). Who on Friday...were wearing Clinton buttons since Rubio is essentially out of the race and they're terrified of Trump.

all STAUNCH Republicans plan to vote for Hillary both in the primary and the GE. Indiana is also an open primary state, so they'll be able to cross over. Not a one of them like the clown car.
