They hung up.

The Maine Republican called last night and asked if I would vote for Trump. I considered the question for a moment and responded no I would vote for Putin and cut out his middle man. They hung up on me.

Seems the pukes are getting organized for the Fall. I got a phone bank call from the local Republicans on Wednesday this past week. My simple response was I don't vote for Republicans ever, for anything, period. That quickly ended the conversation.

SUPERB response! And quick thinking, too.

It's good to know that encounters like yours let THEM know we're not fooled.
