I support Elizabeth Warren because, according to the NYT puff piece, she used to be a Republican.

16. There is a middle?

Maybe, but if so, it's becoming vanishingly small.

The OP is about changing one's mind.

I'm really not into soothsaying. I certainly recall not liking a certain Democratic candidate in 2008 who many people thought could never win an election because he was, um, of African heritage.

I thought that winning was so important that our party was perhaps making a mistake in choosing the candidate who appealed to our hearts rather than the one who was "electable."

That candidate, the best President of my adult life won the election, and the "electable" candidate that year won a later election, but not so strongly as to be awarded the Presidency.

We all like to assume that anyone who voted for Trump is impossibly stupid, but perhaps there are some among them who fit appropriately into that old adage, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people all of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."

I think it is disingenuous to translate early polls into triumphant announcements of a path to victory. Were that so, Hillary and not that racist piece of shit, would be in the White House.

I am absolutely convinced that there are undoubtedly some Trump voters in the swing states who feel they have been played for fools and are as mad as hell about it. Not all of them are as stupid as we think. They can see what is happening in their daily lives. Think for a minute on a soybean farmer now facing bankruptcy, a factory worker in Lordstown.
