He was sporting a Beto t-shirt and I just had to ask him if he was a Democrat or Independent. It didn’t even occur to me to include Republican as a choice. So I was delighted when he told me that he had previously considered himself a Republican, but he just couldnt support this current bunch and that he would voting Democratic in this election.

In the past month I have seen several Beto yard signs and bumper stickers. The only Cruz sign I have seen went up just a few days ago in a public right of way on the side of a road. Apparently no one wants to put a sign on there car, property or clothing. I am beginning to believe this could really happen.
