Grandpa, did you vote for the man who used those nasty words about Beto when he dropped out of the primary? Daddy would have whooped me if I had said something like that.

Now grandson, saying humiliating things about political "enemies" is one of the ways you drain the swamp. He's just saying what needs to be said. Now, go outside and rake the lawn.

Daddy, is it true that he had an affair with a porn star just months after his wife gave birth, and that you voted for him? I thought you were against this kind of immorality.

Now son, don't think like that. Sometimes we have to overlook so called "moral" things for the good of the country. Look, his tax plan reduced my taxes by a thousand dollars last year. That's money in my pocket. I can overlook his immorality for that kind of money. Go do your homework.

Mom, is it true he and his people had to pay a $2 million dollar fine because he was taking money from his charitable foundation and using it for his campaign and other things? And you support him? You and Dad taught me to be honest and truthful.

Hush now, son. People are always saying he's done bad things. Even the courts sometimes unfairly rule against him. It's all a conspiracy. He needs the money to fight against those people. Go upstairs and make your bed.

Dad, speaking of the tax cut plan, his own government says that the treasury is getting nowhere near the new tax revenue from economic growth that he said we would. That means I'll be saddled with that debt because of what he did. And you voted for him?

Hush now, we got a thousand dollars back last year. Hush.
