17. I am with you on this one

And, while I admire those that reach out, and try to educate and invite others into our big tent, I am extremely jaded.

I feel that if someone will fall for lies and distortion routed in racism, and sexism, they will do it again. No trust from me ever.

I've talked to a few deplorables that claim they only voted for him due to his economic policies, but when I ask what they thought of Clintons job plan, they just stare at me. If I ask if they visited her website to view her stands on the issues, they make excuses and scurry away. I'm done with these people, we don't need them. If I volunteer next time, it will be to get out the vote, not to change minds.
