[Magdalen] VP

[Charles Wohlers]

You do have a point. My response might be that not all Republicans are 
alike, and Donald Trump is in a class by himself. Here in Massachusetts we 
have a Republican governor, and we have had them in the recent past (Mitt 
Romney & Bill Weld). We've recently had a Republican governor in Vermont 
(Jim Douglas). They, like most all elected Republicans in New England (the 
current governor of Maine excepted) are all (IMHO) reasonable, decent 
people. I wouldn't vote for them, but I've not been rabidly opposed to them 
either. One might call them reasonable Republicans - they have to be or they 
wouldn't get elected here. Donald Trump, OTOH, is totally different. Which 
is maybe why few if any elected Republicans from New England are attending 
the Republican convention.

Reacting not just to Scott but to all the preceding comments in this thread
. . . . . .

Suppose a God-fearing, tithing, at-church-every-Sunday, really nice
Episcopalian showed up here at the "pub" thinking that he or she just might
get some help in deciding whether to support Trump or Clinton  --  and I
know that will be difficult for some of you, but try anyway.

My guess is that our guest would bolt for the door pretty quickly.  What do
you think?
