How Donald Trump Inspired a 92-Year-Old Woman to Register to Vote for the First Time
ABC ^ | 11/20/2015 | JORDYN PHELPS

Just a few weeks shy of her 93rd birthday, Beada Corum is hard of hearing and needs corrective lenses.

But when Donald Trump speaks, Corum hears and sees with clarity the only politician that she feels is worth voting for -- for the first time in her entire life.

Corum, who introduced Trump at his rally in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Monday night, has registered to vote for the very first time with the express purpose of being able to cast a vote for Trump for president.

"When I heard Donald Trump speak on TV, I thought 'Lord, who in the world is that man?' Well, he came back a few days later, and I said 'Oh my god I believe God sent him to run this country and take care of it,'" Corum told ABC News.

So inspired by what she heard from Trump, Corum called her daughter and asked her to take her to the courthouse to register to vote -- something that took her daughter by surprise.

Without the strength of a real successful person, we are finished as a Country. The only chance we have is with Trump. You can be sure that his advisers will be the best fighters for Americans and our safety. His cabinet will be real Americans.

President Trump Cabinet

Jefferson Sessions as Vice President

Department of State, (return INS.) Newt Gingrich
Department of Justice Rep. Steve King
Department of Treasury, (includes former Homeland Security - Customs) Carl Icahn (Offered and Accepted)
Department of War, (change the name back.) Include former VA function Gen. James Mattis
Department of Interior, (includes the legitimate functions only of former Dept. of Transportation, Dept. of Homeland Security - Border Patrol, and Energy Departments) Gov. Palin
Department of Labor and Commerce Herman Cain

This proposed model has the President directly managing seven subordinates which is optimal.

Department of Homeland Security ELIMINATE
Department of Education ELIMINATE as proposed by The Donald, 9/23/25 at a Columbia, SC Town Hall with Sen. Tim Scott.
Department of Energy ELIMINATE
Department of Health and Human Services ELIMINATE
Department of Housing and Urban Development ELIMINATE
Department of Veterans Affairs ELIMINATE
Department of Agriculture ELIMINATE
Department of Transportation ELIMINATE

On Fox news Sunday, 10/18/15 Trump said he would cut funding for EPA and Dept. of Ed.

In non-cabinet level jobs

Sheriff Clarke should be FBI Director
Michelle Bachman as IRS Commissioner under Secretary Carl Icahn in Treasury
Admiral James A. Ace Lyons as Undersecretary of War Navy Branch.
LTC Allen West as Undersecretary of War Army Branch.
Lynnette Diamond Hardaway and Rochelle Silk Richardson would be great as President Trumps Co-Press Secretaries.

Marsha Blackburn, Speaker of the House
Ted Cruz as Senate Majority Leader.

Well Max I agree it needs to stay America. This insanity that tries to turn it into some no man’s land economic zone has got to stop, or even its touted benefits will cause themselves to perish along with America. (Why don’t the folks who we know as groaning and moaning about unsustainability, turn that microscope on themselves for once?)

I’m a big bug about God in the equation of course. He was the source of America’s peculiar blessings. But you have to still have a country before you can restore it to being a country that believes and is blessed. That’s part of why American Indians did not fare all that well. They never embraced the concept of country, till the paleface forced it on them.

It’s amusing how people imagine big government loving Trump is going to make all their small government wishes come true. His entire career says the opposite, but people have wonderful imaginations.

“’Oh my god I believe God sent him to run this country and take care of it,’” Corum told ABC News. “


the same left wing media that fawned over those who fawned over obama in 2008, nodding their heads in agreement when they said he (obama) was heaven sent, will now try and paint Ms Corum as a nut job...

We’d dearly settle for a dose of sober sanity. Most of these agencies never did Trump any favors although he had to coexist with them in liberal NYC. He’s only with them through force of inertia, not being familiar with a different world. Show Trump a better idea, with a reason to believe it’s a better idea, and he’s on it like white on rice.

Hmmmm, now why would ABC post a positive story about Donald Trump? Very strange.

So you don’t go to or watch baseball games, basketball games, football games, use interstate freeways, shopping malls, large amusement parks, schools, universities, hotels...

If you do you’re a world class hypocrite.

The rest of us do.

You are so confused, I’m sure that you won’t understand this, but none of those examples have a thing to do with the Kelo error.

I really don’t understand why you post here; you are clearly an avowed statist. There are places where you would fit in.
