Relentless Hillary support might be changing a good friend's mind [View all]
I have a very good friend who is a Trump supporter. I mean a really staunch Trump supporter, and after conversation after conversation where she can't actually defend him since the beginning of his campaign, she finally admitted tonight that I'm far more informed than she is (which isn't saying much), she said she's starting to understand why I support Hillary. She said her biggest concern is terrorism and that "Trump talks a good talk" and makes her "feel safe" if he were to win the WH.
I explained that I understood her fears but that we all share the same fears about terrorism. Nobody wants terrorists coming over here, we all want to feel safe and know we're fighting terrorism. But that Trump is only going to disappoint her because he blurts out stupid, over-simplistic slogans and that she'll be so disappointed with him if he wins.
I didn't win her over but I had her ear for a change. Slow and steady might win the race with some people. It didn't hurt that I told her what Pence was like. She had never heard of him.
