20. I wish I could agree with you

I live in Massachusetts, 5 minutes from the New Hampshire border. Not only are there many "educated" people in New Hampshire who will vote for Trump, but so will many in Massachusetts. I work in a law office, and I would estimate that 80% of the people in my office are voting for Trump. I know people think of Massachusetts as a liberal utopia, but there are plenty of crazy tea party types here too.

I'm hoping that Florida will be the surprise. In fact, I hope that it's not even close. If Florida goes for Clinton in a big way, I think that will be a sign that we're looking at a possible landslide. I don't want Trump to just lose. I want him to be humiliated (although he's too much of a narcissist to really feel shame). As much as I wanted McCain and Romney to lose, I didn't feel like this. Trump's coarseness, his disdain of anyone not like him, not to mention his treatment of women repulse me in a way I never could have predicted.

Bottom line is that roughly 50% of this country has lost their minds. Such a crying shame.

I think New Hampshire is not really that close and Hillary will win it idziak4ever1234 Nov 2016 #1
