"I'd Sooner Vote for a Rat Crossing the Railroad Tracks"

[appalachiablue]

So this was the absolute highlight of my day. I often stop into a local gas station on my way home. There is a woman who works there who knows me well, but only in terms of what I buy. Beyond that I know nothing about her, she knows nothing about me. I'm just a regular customer. She knows what I buy and is ready for it.

I'd put her in late 40's, early 50's, white, fairly mundane. But an interesting demographic.

So on impulse tonight, (it wasn't really busy), I concluded my transaction and then suddenly asked her - "Got a question - what do you think of Donald Trump"?

She visibly recoiled, stepped back at least two or three steps, and then stared me in the eye wondering what I was up to.

She seemed to ponder and then stepped forward.

"I'd sooner vote for a rat crossing the railroad tracks than vote for him" — said with a strong southern drawl.

I burst out laughing so did the two women in line behind me by that time. I laughed all the way home and am still laughing now.

Just a small note from Cincinnati, SW Ohio.

3. I know a few who initially were interested on trump

Who now have turned against him. I don't know any gop women who support him. A couple of men I know initially thought he might shake things up but now think he's dangerous.
I don't know any white supremacists so maybe they'll vote for him.

4. So now we're hoping our candidate appeals to more voters than a rat crossing the railroad tracks?

And most are acknowledging that it's going to be close.

That's a damn shame.

6. If media would Stop covering Herr Trumpf 24/7 and hadn't given him millions

in free campaign airtime to start with, things could be different.

7. Trumps free press comes to more than 2 billion. He had 400 million in February alone.

Donald Trump Calls The Media ‘Disgusting’ After Getting $2 Billion In Free Press

It may be as much as a trillion dollars.

8. The 'free' media, disgusting? Wow, only La Donald.

5. After a summer full of GOP attack ads on our nominee, I hope she still feels the same way. n/t
