I'm not referring to people on forums like these, who are really into politics. I mean just ordinary people who don't really pay that much attention to politics.

My grandma has a brother-in-law (a Vietnam vet who is a very moderate Republican, pro-amnesty, supported Lindsey Graham and still defends Iraq) has stated that he won't vote for Trump or Johnson, but I'm not sure if he'll vote for Clinton. If he bothers to vote at all, he'd probably back McMullin but I don't even think he is on the Virginia ballot.

My dad's a Republican, but I'm pretty sure he voted for Obama both times too.

Ironically, the only Republican I know who voted for Obama twice is probably the fiercest Trump voter I know of.

Not that I can think of, though my dad (who voted for Cruz in the primaries) is voting for Johnson.

My sister-in-law's side of the family is mostly Republican, and they're all (reluctantly) voting for Hillary.

I know some undecided/Johnson voters. I don't know anyone conservative that's for Hillary, though there are a couple people that I haven't asked.

I actually have a lot more in common socioculturally with BRTD than I like to admit. The difference is that, again, it's not something I'm proud of.

How is this possible? I mean, I know California college campuses are very liberal, but there must be some conservatives like RFayette, right?

It is fairly unsafe to publicly identify as right-of-center at UCLA.

I live in Iowa City, and it's similar: it's just not worth talking about.  At the University, it's a little different.  Totally depends on where you are.  If you were on the main campus breaking up an ultimate frisbee game or on the pedestrian mall talking to some guys playing hackysack to spout Republican talking points, you'd find 99 out of 100 people giving you a very negative reaction.  However, if you went to a frat party or hung around the outside of the finance classes in the business school (huge portions of kids from suburban Chicago), I think people would kind of scoff at a bleeding heart liberal.

About half of the College Republicans is anti-Trump (mostly for Johnson, one or two for Hillary).  I don't know any back home though.

Well, it's not like I know every single person on campus. Tongue I'm only familiar with people from my Department, and even then not all of them.
