Good News! Kim Kardashian Made Up Her Mind And She’s Voting For Hillary Clinton

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by etherealtruth (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: The Huffington Post

Kim Kardashian has made up her mind about who she’s voting for in the upcoming presidential election. On Saturday, the 35-year-old took the time to explain the context in which she told Wonderland magazine that she was “on the fence,” about who to vote for ― implying that she was considering voting for Donald Trump.

In a post on her website and app, Kardashian made it clear that she intends to vote for Hillary Clinton.

“There was a point when I wasn’t 100% sure I was even going to vote in this election; I didn’t want to vote blindly,” Kardashian wrote. “But I also thought about how not voting would mean that I wasn’t making my voice heard, so I decided to talk to my closest friends and family who I love and trust, to have an open conversation about politics.”

Kardashian explained that she had a “long conversation” with her stepparent Caitlyn Jenner, who encouraged her to research the candidates and their policies before making a decision.

Did she remove most of her clothing before the interview? I guess when you have zero talent, getting naked is the only thing to do for attention. As Bette Midler said "For us to see any part of her we have not already seen, she would have to SWALLOW a camera"

Sadly because it's Kardashian doing the influencing and people not deciding for themselves.

But it's difficult finding a dress like hers for a man 6' 2" and 280 pounds.

the smart one? She has three illigitimate children by a guy who obviously does not want to marry her. He is a drunk and philanderer. A"smart" woman would have seen the light long ago. The entire family are Valley girl bimbos. not a brain cell to be found in the family.

Saying Kourtney is the smart one isn't saying much. The bar can't get much lower. There is a reason their show isn't on the Science Channel.

if she has coattails in the voting booth, I'm not going to say anything negative about it. I want Hillary to win, and I want her to win big. She'll need every vote she can get. I don't care if some of those voters are Kim K. and her fan club.
