I do try to persuade people but on a very logical basis. I always ask my opponents if they think the last 8 years have been good or bad for America. Only the die-hard, ultra lefties defend Obama to their last breath. The more sober among them look down at their shoes and reluctantly nod their heads in agreement.
I hope the “Silent Majority” and the denial Republicans turn around and come on in November to hand Hilliary a devastating defeat.
I’ve thought the same....don’t tell others you’ll be voting for TRUMP. HOWEVER< that theory is totally bogus. This last week had computer issues and took it into a repair shop. This was on Indiana election day. Spent about 45 minutes in the shop which had seen our business 3 times prior. In the course of discussion, mentioned the computer needed to follow the race that evening and to see the celebrations which ensued. Owner then asked ‘If you don’t mind my asking, who are you voting for” Told him TRUMP. Shocked, he said ‘Me, Too!! Stating the night Donald threw his hat in the ring the man wept tears of joy that there was as last some one who spoke for Americans first. DH and I left that place of business with a peace within us that no matter what was thrown in our direction, we would see some form of victory. THIS IS A TRUE AND FACTUAL STORY!! An hour after we arrived home, DH saw the headline on DRUDGE “TRUMP WINS IN A LANDSLIDE IN INDIANA! Can’t tell me the Lord doesn’t work in mysterious ways!!
The problem with thinking that anger at the last 8 years is going to help Republicans is that a lot of people remember the 8 years prior to that all too well. It was not Obama who was in charge as 2007 and 2008 hit our 401ks or took our homes (have you seen “The Big Short?” Nor did he fight 2 unfunded wars that still have to be paid for even though many now feel that one of those wars was a bad idea and helped lead to the current Syria and surrounding messes. Frankly I think a lot of the Silent Majority just don’t want to tell anyone how angry they are and start a fight. It may not hurt Hillary at all.
