Iowan hopes to cast 20th presidential vote — for Clinton

[SecularMotion]

Ruline Steininger’s political endorsement might not come with star power, but it exemplifies staying power.

Steininger, 102, of Pleasant Hill, expects to vote this fall in her 20th presidential election. She hopes to cast her vote for Hillary Clinton, whom she considers one of the best candidates she’s ever seen.

The retired teacher came to Grand View University to hear the former secretary of state speak Friday. She backed Clinton in the 2008 Democratic caucuses and plans to do so again Monday.

2. That's wonderful! (But I hope she's not on Facebook.)

3. I hope she is safe and secure

Putting this sort of information out is not exactly a good idea these days. If you are Clinton voter, it's best to remain anonymous about it.

4. Probably should keep that info classifed, is that what you mean?

5. What I had in mind was to stay anonymous to avoid harasment

I certainly would feel unsafe declaring that I was voting for Clinton if I was in Iowa right now.

6. I don't think Iowans in general behave that way.

It is just a select group on the Internet. They think their anonymity protects them, not understanding that it harms their candidate.

7. She is an inspiration to us all.
