Id say all but one of my conservative FB friends say they still plan on voting for him.

Just pulled into a campground in Emerald Isle, NC, last night. I have never seen so many Trump signs and stickers. All on permanent sites and houses on the way on to the island. Just can't fathom so many stupid people. Until arriving here, our total count for visible Trump support was around 47. This place put it up to 88, and we haven't had a chance to drive around the beach areas yet.
