KNOX COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) - In the story that is Beada Corum's life, she knows most of it has already been written.
"It's a history book," says Corum. "I raised eight children: four boys and four girls."
At 92-years-old, she should be slowing down. But, don't tell her that.
"I'm busy all of the time," she says.
Corum still makes her daily checklists and crosses them off as she goes. But last week, she crossed off something decades in the making.
This 92-year-old citizen registered to vote for the very first time.
"We got a good country but it's going downhill so fast and we need somebody in there who can straighten it out," says Corum.
In the past, Corum says there hasn't been a candidate she was passionate about. That all changed when she heard one man speak. Corum says she plans to vote for Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential Election.
"He's got a strong mind and he speaks it out just the way he thinks it ought to be," she says.
Corum is proving you're never too old to make it count.
"I pray that I'll vote for the right person. And, when you pray with all your heart, it won't go void. That's my prayer," she says.
Well, Trump has managed to fool you. I would be impressed if I thought that it was hard to do. A few weeks of talking conservative seems to have given amnesia to far too many conservatives.
Let’s hope she doesn’t pass away before the election and wind up voting for Hillary 6 times.
I admit missing your point by a Mile, but not your intent.
It was still over the top IMHO no matter your views on Trump.
Carry on.
Years of the same conservative views and platforms he is promoting today. Read his books, his past interviews and videos of him speaking or remain ignorant.
Trump is kicking Rino and democrat arse and I am loving it.
What reason did Trump ever have to declare any way on abortion? Obama is the most pro-abortion "president" ever and he was allowed in for 2 terms because folks "couldn't bring themselves to vote for a lesser evil" - that makes the average voter just as pro-abortion as Obama.
"He's got a strong mind and he speaks it out just the way he thinks it ought to be," she says.
All you’ve said is true; but people are REACTING to someone with BALLS!
There is a DIFFERENCE between Joel Osteen and Billy Graham, and it ain’t all theology!
I guess in your world, no one is finally allowed to see the light?
Esther comes to mind.
Chapter Four
Verse 14
So?
Where is the conservative POPULIST today?
:^)x
She’s lived to be 92 and has seen what the last 50 years has wrought on this greatly diminished nation.
She must be longing for the once great nation she has witnessed to return to its position of superiority and prosperity and goodness.
She must see, like most do, the atheistic socialists who lead are intent on punishing this nation.
She must see the hopelessness offered in the form of a bunch of mostly ineffectual candidates and Trump is the only one who is shining...the only one not being hog-tied by his PACs and the GOP left loon establishment and the totalitarian left media. He’s not beholden to anyone except the American voter. She’s probably got that glimmer of hope that the American citizens combined are still a good people and if their values are represented this nation could reverse our decadent direction.
It is concerning that she’s 92 and not voted before. It is also a sign of our distress that someone who has not voted in her long life now feels compelled to save this nation.
“..Running a household was a lot of work back then..”
Hell, it’s STILL a lot of work...
Glad she’s stepping into the ring too.
Thanks for your response. Everything you said is part of the problem with the GOP.
“Lets hope she doesnt pass away before the election and wind up voting for Hillary 6 times.”
That’s funny, but scary.
Come now...you know full well this lady knew that voting was important. She just didn’t want to be bothered by it, like so many other potential voters.
Please. Stop making excuses. It only takes 2 hours on average to vote. I think after all the kids were out of the house, she could have gotten off her butt and gone, like 50 years ago.
