A little off the current topic, but what I see as a positive note:
My parents, back in the 90's, when Billy was president, were in their early/mid 40's (which is where I am now). This was waaaaay back before the internet was as mainstream as it is now. This was before smartphones, affordable laptops, etc.
I had to stop over at my parent's yesterday, my mother needed a couple of shelves assembled and some furniture moved around. We talked about this and that, and I asked her, "Ma, what do you think of this whole Trump bus thing ?"
Mom:
"Well, your sister (a teacher) is a little perturbed by it, and I kind of understand it, because it was a little out there what he said. And her point is that 'what if this was a teacher talking to students this way ?' "
Me: "Yeah, but Ma, he wasn't talking to anyone other than two other men on the bus."
"I know, and I get it, but it's not worth arguing with your sister because she'll never change her mind."
"True... What do YOU think of the whole thing ?"
"They're words. They're words what he (Trump) said. And I watch the scene where he was on Days Of Our Lives, and I'd be willing to bet that they were talking about the scene and somebody asked him if that ever happened in real life."
(Wait... does my mother read RVF ???)
"Did you watch the debates ?"
"I watched some of the first one, and a little bit of the second one. And I did watch the VP debate."
"What'd you think ?"
"I'll tell you, and I said this a long time ago to your father. I will never, never vote for that evil woman."
I gave her a quizzical look.
"Sam, the things that her and her husband did when he was president... The things he did to those women, and the lies and threats she made to those women. Disgusting."
"Reall.."
"They should both be in jail. How does he (BC) have the audacity to ask the interviewer 'what the definition of "is" is' ?".
"I agre..."
"And to think that people were stupid enough to believe that kind of stuff that he claimed."
"No, I know what..."
"And that idiot she has for a VP ? He creeps me out. All he did that night was blame, blame, blame. A whiny little baby."
"Wow, Ma, I..."
"And if HE gets in office if something happens to (HC), I can see him doing the same thing that (BC) did."
"..."
"What did you think of his VP, Mike Pence ?"
"I like him. He reminds me of... I mean, I can't think of anyone that he reminds me of from when we lived on (old address), but he looks like he could be one of our neighbors. Like a baseball coach or something."
(Holy shit. I need to check my mother's web history !!!)
"What do you think of Donald Trump ?"
"Honestly ?"
"Yeah, Ma."
"Honestly, I think he needs to learn to keep his mouth shut sometimes. He does so well one week, and then he gets on the Twitter thing and it totally takes away from whatever he did that week."
(Okay... Who here has been PM'ing my mother ? TLOZ ??)
"He's got fantastic ideas. And he's right on a lot of things. Just the fact that he's not taking money from the special interest groups, tells me he's serious about this."
"Yeah."
"The other thing is that, if he gets elected, all this shit in both parties comes crumbling down. No more pork barrel crap."
"..."
"That's why those idiots like Mccain and Ryan denounced him, they're probably just as deep in the corruption as the rest of them."
We talked a little more about this and that, and she's in for Trump. My aunt a few months ago, during the primaries, basically said the same kind of things as my mother regarding Billy's tenure in office.
My point is this: While it's a small sampling size, I believe that it's indicative of how many people their age view the current Democratic nominee.
These were people that were alive when all this BC rape stuff happened. When it all originally unfolded. When news networks would go live whenever news broke, or one of the Clinton machine was going to address the public...
When news outlets were less dishonest.
And these people that were alive during that time, and "lived it out" in real time ? They're not susceptible to the media like the college kids and millennials today are.
I would not be surprised if the percentage of Trump voters over 55 years of age was over 80%.
Those people don't forget what happened back then.
