I am still on speaking terms with all of my right leaning friends BUT...

None of them support Trump. Perhaps I live in vacuum spending most of my time in Massachusetts and New York but I just don't know anybody that is Republican that actually likes Trump or thinks he is a good idea for the party. I was in New York last week sitting down with some friends that are long time Republicans and they hate Trump. A couple of them were actually supporting Bernie Sanders during his run. Now, they are backing Hillary.

I was invited to a party in Pennsylvania where there was going to be some Trump supporters. I was being encouraged to come because my friends wanted me to get into a debate with these people to see what might happen. However, I was not able to get to Pennsylvania the weekend of the party so...no Trump confrontation for me.

I do have an acquaintance that actually knows and has met the Donald and supposedly had some business dealings with him. I have not had a conversation with him in some time though...not over Trump...we just have not been in touch. He, like many people that have met Trump it seems, thinks Trump is a great guy. My guess is he probably fully supports his run for president due to this fact.

I doubt that in his business dealings or general meetings prior to this presidential run Trump was running off at the mouth about politics or any of the garbage he spews on the campaign trail. Personally, I don't think what he has done was a good idea for him...he is not suited for political interaction and he now has badly labeled himself by getting out there and saying what he has said. I don't really think that was a good idea for the Trump "brand."
