The idiot American
This is what we're up against in this country:
One of my morning coffee truck acquaintances, a police officer and Trump supporter, was talking about the Pope bringing refugees to the Vatican from Lesbos. He was against it! "Regular Catholic people can't get in to the Vatican! Now we've got Muslims living there?"
Then he asks if he's allowed to vote for anyone in tomorrow's primary. I explain that you can only vote for a candidate from your registered party. "I'm a registered Democrat! How do I change that?" Too late. "I guess I'll have to vote for Bernie - I'm with you tomorrow (fist-bumb)."
