"By gosh, we all still have a chance to have a decent country and decent values"
Elderly Texas woman on oxygen explains why she voted for Beto O’Rourke: ‘He represents everything Trump isn’t’
As election day got underway, NBC correspondent Garrett Haake spoke to a voter named Pamela who explained why she came out to vote with her oxygen tank and wheelchair.

“Because he represents everything that Donald Trump isn’t,” the voter insisted. “I give [O’Rourke] a lot of credit for standing up and saying what he thinks and for being willing to represent so many people who are like minded. It means a lot. We’re just so proud.”
She added that it would mean “everything” to her if O’Rourke could pull off a win against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).
“We want him to win,” the woman stated as she choked up. “It will mean so much. It will mean that, by gosh, we all still have a chance to have a decent country and decent values with decent relationships with other people.”
