She commented recently that she never understood farmers voting Republican and, according to her, most of them were voting Republican even in the 1930s while FDR was saving their farms. (Not all of them, there are a few like her late in-laws who never voted anything but DFL because they kept their farm because of Roosevelt.)

You just can't fix stupid.
