(45,806 posts)National News, only local to hear the weather report. He does hear some news about The Con from me but if I wasn't here or never mention any of the ridiculous things the Con has said & done, he wouldn't know anything about politics. He always votes for the Dems, even though we live n Ga. (We're from Pa.)
This "We need someone completely different" complaint has been around for decades! It's just that this is the first time we ever had someone REALLY DIFFRENT on the ballot. I can understand why a lot of ex Union workers who dream of the days they earned a decent wage were desperately hoping this NEW candidate really understood their situation and would finally create good paying jobs in the US. You & I recognized the Con was conning people with all his lies, but desperation may times prevents people from thinking logically. I feel very sad for them when they finally realize what their "HOPE" was all BS.
I realize that's not all Con voters, but it is most of the ones who used to vote Dem.
