Teen who tripped Trump is voting for Hillary



....Niemi's brush with history came last Wednesday at an MSNBC Town Hall meeting where Chris Matthews was grilling the GOP front-runner.

Stepping up to the microphone, the University of Wisconsin Green Bay student asked the question that had been on her mind.

"What is your stance on women's rights and their rights to choose in their own reproductive health?" she asked.
.....
Matthews then followed-up, asking Trump, "Do you believe in punishment for abortion, yes or no as a principle?"
.....
But if Trump ever had a chance to get Niemi's vote, he definitely lost it that day.

"I'm voting for Hillary Clinton," she said.

Niemi said she was also shocked by angry reaction from Trump supporters, some of whom said she had no business being at the event if she wasn't backing The Donald. She disagrees.

"It's a once in a lifetime experience," she said. "I was just, like, I was representing."

The plucky teen said she didn't realize she had set off a political powder keg until much later
.

Excellent! She voted for Hillary!

I think BS started that whole debate about the debate so he could get more attention.. well, he Got It!

Thank you, Rose!

Charlie Brown kept thinking he would finally get the chance to kick the football, but Lucy at the last second pulls it away. Same scenario. BS thinks he has finally got the advantage over HRC. But in the end she pulls away.
