1. Have to share a conversation I just had with my friend's wife. 1) B/C she said I can, and 2) B/C I've known her for years and couldn't believe my own ears.
She's a gentry Chicago liberal in her late 50s, who can't stand Trump, voted for HRC in 2016. She wanted to tell me...

3. For governor, she claims to still be undecided. She doesn't see it as a nationalized race. But I made a joke about liberal virtue.
Her response: "There is no liberal virtue anymore."
Her husband is conservative. So, they've cancelled each other out for years. Not this year.

4. Just for kicks, I'm going to predict she'll vote for Ron DeSantis over Andrew Gillum. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe in the end she picks her party for governor. But I suspect her concern for her sons & husband is going to outweigh. Sounded like a 1-issue vote if I ever heard one.
5. Btw, she was just NOT going to vote, rather than vote Republican for the first time in more than > 3 decades. But she hears how high Democratic enthusiasm is in the media. So, she decided to vote for Yoho and Scott. Just told @LauraBaris B/C she knows who I'm talking about...
6. As @LauraBaris knows, we're not talking about a moderate here. She is a raging liberal. But they scared the hell out of her, and she doesn't think anything the GOP can or will do has the potential to hurt the cause more than destroying due process.
7. By the way, it took the GOP more than three decades to get this woman's vote. And in truth, they didn't get it B/C of anything they did. They got it because of something the Democrats did, to scare her. I think that's telling and not the same as an affirmation of the GOP.
