(1) Met a 30 year old Hispanic man who owns his own plumbing business - voting for Trump, thinks Hillary is the biggest liar he has ever known.
(2) Twenty three year old Hispanic cosmetologist, putting herself through college - voting for Trump, former Bernie supporter, absolutely hated Hillary, thought Hillary stole the nomination from Bernie.
(3) Twenty eight year old white male, sales rep for an agriculture company - voting for Trump. First time voter, thinks his future is over if Hillary wins the election.
(4) Met just yesterday a twenty five year old white real estate agent, she and her fiancé are both strong Trump supporters. Actually is making plans to leave California but may decide to stay if Trump wins, (her family is in town).
All of these young people were employed, smart and were all paying very close attention to the issues and the election, they all gave me hope. I was especially pleased with the Hispanic guy. He said that his family were going for Hillary and are shocked at his decision to support Trump, but he didn't care what they thought. His support was solid and had actually donated to Trump's campaign.
Thank you NicksAunt, and thanks to all the posters. I hope it counteracts all the pearl clutching chicken little's, TDS-er's, and people like Hugh Hewitt, that IMHO finally went around the bend the other day with his thoughts on it's over.
In the words of John Belushi: "Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! ;-)
The folks you talked to NA, notice all in their 20's and 30's and have had to launch careers in this "Recovery" with supposed 4.9% Unemployment, ( U6 is more like north of 11%) with a GDP that is below the 3% norm or 2% keep your head above water, 94 million off the work roles and 40+ million on food stamps.
Are these 20 somethings on a screed against the Obama economy of which I noted is his baby, he can't blame it on Bush and the fact they get, she will be an extension of his econ-madness?
It is interesting the guy they are going to pull the lever for has more of a Reagansque free market hemoglobin running thru his economic veins vs the nuevo-euro-social-blaness & control that we have had for the last 8 years.
They want kids as well is my guess and they know this Obama economy just ain't cutting it have a family, heck some of their brethren are still stuck in mom and pops basement....
