I can hardly believe that -- Me too/me neither

Hi, I asked two Americans this question, it turned out they don't even know! Emotion: tongue tied

Mary: I can hardly believe that -- Tom: Me too / me neither (one of my friends answered "I agree" )

Thanks.

Neither. The "hardly" gives is a negative sense, so that it takes the neither construction. I can belive that - me too I can't believe that - me neither I can hardly believe that falls into the "can't" team.

You could say something like "Yes, it is hard to believe, isn't it?"

Or "I don't think I believe it at all."
