sat at a table and 2 young women sat at the table next to me. After a couple minutes I casually asked one who she was voting for. She said, "I dunno". I asked her "are you going to vote?" and she answered, "I dunno". The other one just looked puzzled so I asked her would you vote for Trump? She said, "I don't care".
