My boyfriend says I can't be friends with you because you support Trump"<br /><br />(How many things can you find wrong with that statement?)<br /><br />I answered "oh well. I'm sorry. I guess we can't be friends then."<br /><br />She shot back "What? You'd give up or our friendshfor Donald Trump? I can't believe it!"<br /><br />And they was the last time I spoke with her. There was no room for discussion, sharing ideas, or comparison of the values of the candidates. <br /><br />My circle of friends had gotten smaller, but the overall quality has improved.. And no, not all of them are trump supporters.DocVinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997243128627666543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-38881719191906581032018-12-21T01:13:36.722-08:002018-12-21T01:13:36.722-08:00She's Jewish and single?

Get introduced to a stranger at any NYC dinner party and the third thing out of their mouth is likely to be a harsh crack about Trump or Republicans in general --not infrequently on the Hitler note--on the understanding that everyone will, of course, agree. Since you're not considering ending the night in bed with this person, let alone sizing them up for eventual marriage, and since you don't want to bust up a friend's party, an evasive answer or a quick trip for more ice in your drink (or the sudden need to phone your agent/babysitter/mother/dentist) is usually the answer. But not on a first date where you'd have to speak up because it's not gonna work anyway. Long way of saying, it was more likely that the guy, not the woman, was the first to get political.

This in a city with 6-1 Democrat voter registration edge, a progressive far-left mayor, not one GOP US rep in Congress next year, only one GOP state senator (where there once were one from each borough), and only three GOP members of the city council. One wonders what these people fear. sestamibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713681322114049960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-71471699251934517902018-12-20T06:04:31.925-08:002018-12-20T06:04:31.925-08:00I think this is very astute of Pamela Garber
