A few thoughts on the vigil: On Sunday morning I was thinking of getting coffee to help me get through the rest of the vigil, but Roberta's yoga session energized me, so I didn't need it after all.
The discussions (mentioned above) were all interesting. I found the one on ballot measures particularly informative.
Several people stopped by either to register to vote or get voter registration forms.
Altogether, I spent three hours talking to Trump supporters who came by. Both people were intelligent and well-informed in a lot of things, defying the stereotype of the "poorly educated" followers. (A third Trump supporter I talked to many months ago was also pretty intelligent.)
