24. I wouldn't be surprised if...

Jan 2017

the people who are surprised are the people who stayed home. Those people who didn't like Hillary but voted for her anyway, or endorsed her, like George Bush and George W. Bush, knew what they were doing. Even Ryan is scared of him. Didn't want to campaign with him.

My husband is convinced (I think he's out of his mind) that Hillary would have done all of the same things. He really believed that her left wing views were lies to get her elected, and as soon as it happened, she would sell us out. So maybe the people who stayed home thought this too. Disagreement got me nowhere, so I just did my best to point out her strengths and her voting record.
