9. The tide is turning re: farmers

It took my Grandpa far too many years - he could never answer me as to why he voted for Reagan when Reagan was anti-union. Grandpa farmed and worked a factory job for years. Bush II was the final straw for him - he finally realized what passed for the republican party didn't give a rat's butt about farmers.

From some farmers in Winnebago County, I'm hearing that they are seeing how much money they are losing. And that they won't vote for Trump. I doubt any of them will vote for for a Democrat. But things being what they are, that is fine by me. I have no sympathy for people who vote against their own best interest.
