then when you check in you tell them and the person you want to help you has to sign in with you. But if I were with him I'd keep my mouth shut and vote for who I wanted to and I then would lie to him. But if it is as bad as she says I would tell her to say no more political talks in the house. Keep to it. If he continues get up and walk away and ignore him.
