Why Biden won the military [**WARNING: some f-bombs in the video**]

MeidasTouch.com@MeidasTouch
Why did Biden win the military? The military may be conservative, but they are Americans first. And loyalty and honor actually matter to them.





----
He said Khazir Khan son was no lost. He said John McCain was captured and he likes ppl who weren't captures. He called military people suckers and losers. Yet, he thought they'd vote for him. Character matters.

It is true the military is overwhelming conservative. However, with notable exceptions, military people ain't stupid.

While the enlisted swear to obey the president, the officer Corp swears to the constitution. Everyone I have known takes that very serious.

My husband is a Navy vet. Still a Republican, but is more adamantly anti-Trump than I am.

I’m anxious to hear the military stats. And I’m hopeful that a good number of them are still outstanding in NC and could miraculously change the results in my state when they finally get counted.

My dad was a sergeant in the marines. Semper fi.

I realized it as soon as he started flapping his gums about John McCain. If that didn't lose him support even in his civilian, hard-core supporters, they are dumber and more obstinate than I thought possible. And believe me, I thought they were (and are) PLENTY dumb and obstinate.
