Walking around town it was the talk of the nation and people were saying “No way im voting for her….. are you?? Yeah no way”. honestly its the only time in all my years in the north east I ever felt that people were going to step up and do thee right thing. Ended up being a bloodbath and Obamacare was passed but not in anywhere close to original form.
The only other time I saw something like this was in 2016. Took a trip up past west palm beach into central florida. There was not a Hillary sign anywhere to be found. Keep in mind this was before Florida became solidly red. Polls had Hillary winning florida handily. Anyone who shut the TV off and just took a good look around and talked to people knew there was just no shot. She might win the election but zero shot she wins the state.
I don't know anyone in Michigan or Ohio. I know a few people in Pa and Wi. Admittedly my Pa people say its a coin flip and the trump act has worn thin. My Wisconsin friends tell me its over - Trump in a landslide. The few interviews and many videos of the unintelligent word salads have got her labeled as stupid. I ask “are you sure” and its all the same old story of they dont know anyone who is voting for Harris….. and there are a lot of teachers in this group.
