I’ve only joined freerepublic recently, but my mother had read it forever, and I got involved because this is the first primary I’ve ever been passionate about, and will be my first primary vote when PA votes on the 26th. The passion on both sides has caused people to get a bit angry and nasty, but I believe we need to unite against the establishment and rally behind the one man who can win the 1237 outright at this point. Honestly, if Cruz was ahead by as much as Trump, I’d be saying the same thing for him...but he isnt, and
I’ve personally witnessed the passion for Trump in my own county. 2600 Dems switched to Rep this year in my county, the avg previously was only 200. And it’s happening all over my state and the country.
Doesn’t it at least show we should give Trump a chance? We’ve given lawyers and senators plenty, can’t we at least agree he has the best chance at real change?
I like your post. I have one son who will be voting for the first time too this year and I wish he cared as much as you do; maybe I was too political through his childhood and he’s on his “rumspringe” (the Amish teenage break) - he will still vote but he’s just not “into it” like Mom. Which is fine. But I like that you are. This country gets passed down to each generation and everyone should feel like it’s theirs to influence and guard.
