As I said in September, I would like to have a conversation with someone that would choose to vote for T rather than HRC...
I don't want a screaming match, don't want to convince you that you are terribly wrong and don't want you to try and convince me by defending him...
I really just want to try and understand...
Is it because she is a woman? I cannot stop thinking about how this election cycle would have played out if the candidates were reversed. What if:
She had been married three times and had children from different partners
She started and failed numerous business ventures
She had declared bankruptcy numerous times
She had settled numerous lawsuits with payouts
She had no history of working to alleviate the struggles of others
She would not release her taxes
She was openly hostile to people that did not match her version of acceptability
She were caught on tape harassing, discriminating, and demeaning people
It really does go on and on...
Here is what I think:
She has worked her entire life for the common good
She has a proven track record of collaboration with others to get things done
She has the support of well-respected individuals from all sides and all over the globe
She has been under near constant scrutiny for decades by the media
She has endured government investigations that have cost taxpayers millions and found nothing indictable
Here's what I also think:
She is human and fallible, as is anyone that has ever been president
She is not as charismatic nor as likable as we may want
She is married to an ex-president and raised a child in the White House
She was a well-respected senator and a secretary of state
She is uniquely qualified to be the first woman president of the United States
Big news people: I'm with her!
