high though we were never real good buddies.

Right at first he was on the Trump bandwagon during the primary campaign. After the first debate, he denounced Trump, wrote a scathing post and declared his allegiance to Fiorina. He went as far as saying he was crazy to even consider giving the nuclear codes to someone like Trump.

I remembered that post. This guy was also running for our state house here in Idaho. I few weeks before the election, I scrolled back through all his posts and found the one where he tore Trump out the new asshole! I commented on it praising him for being prophetic, nailing it right on the head, a brilliant post and all that! I did it pretty late at night and he woke up to that and a couple nasty comments directed at both of us!

A mutual friend told me he was really pissed! Going off on how even just a couple votes could cost him the election. I wasn't even thinking about that. There would probably have been no chance our democratic candidate could have won anyway. If it was a mid-term, maybe. I was just doing it to fuck with him a little and get some laughs from our democratic friends.
