. . . and we got talking. Told her I take a Republican ballot, we got talking some more and guess what? She asked whom I’d vote for in the president’s race, I said “leaning toward Trump.” Guess what? So is she. If he’s on the ballot in November, he has her vote.

Will he do what he says he’ll do? We don’t know, she said. But we don’t know what the others will do either, I said. Exactly, she said.

Locally, she’s Dem, you see. But Trump is saying all the right things. He has so many businesses going, if economy goes bad, his businesses will too. (He has skin in the game.)

Romney should have butted out, she said. Me too.

How many like her will go for Trump while supporting local Dems?

Questions about some well-known salesmen, beginning with:

What would Donald Trump sell you?

Continuing with Hillary, ending with

the one candidate he wouldn’t buy a car from? That would be Cruz.

Yes. The Cruz missile has too many words slipping lightly off the tongue. Slippery is the word, if not forked. Has all the answers, even in his sleep. Pastes on smile now and then. Otherwise, missile-perfect. Unerring, unnerving.
