Explain why they are worse, make sure you present proof to your audience.

I met a couple of women at a supermarket the other day, sisters, one of them is pro-trump and thinks he is doing a superb job "I mean, the economy...", the other one is horrified at how her sister thinks. So I presented all the facts to the pro-trumper, told her to stop watching fox news, at which of course she said "I also watch CNN", so I said, "I bet 80% of your watching is on fox news, right, and maybe more", she said "well yes, but...". At this point I started explaining why "the economy" is not trump's economy but one left by Obama, and how trump is destroying the economy and how we are heading to a recession, then I went through a list of crimes and misdemeanors, as well as about the families on the border, the indictments, the people already in jail, etc. It is impossible to list all the wrongdoings from this administration in fifteen minutes or less, but the point is you cannot just say "they are worst", you have to take the time to explain why.

The pro-trumper sister looks at me all this time with deer under the light eyes, but I think I may have given her some food for thought, her sister promised that she was and would continue to work on her.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
