vanity, Anti-MSM Poll: Share anecdotes of you know who switched or committed to Trump in last 2 days

Posted on 10/29/2016 4:13:28 PM PDT by hawaiian

The title is self-explanatory. We can't control whether the MSM juices their polls, but we can get a sense of the mood "on the ground." Share your stories of anyone you know or have heard about that has switched their commitment to Trump. I predict we will be able to tell before next-week's polls come out how meaningful the shift has been.

Not a switch, but I had a coworker that was going to leave the presidential ballot blank when she voted because she thought that neither candidate was fit for the office. She mentioned this afternoon that she stopped by the courthouse and early voted this morning and ended up voting for Trump because after the FBI announcement she just couldn’t stand the idea of four years of never ending investigations.

I suspect that Obama, Clintons & the Democrats have refined
VOTER FRAUD to such a fine science that they WERE cocksure
that Hillary had it in the bag. - Maybe the ground game is
so skewed now that she is beatable. I hope so. - However,
I’m voting TRUMP/PENCE and not letting up.

A libertarian friend in Cali came to the conclusion that voting for Trump would be the right thing to do in a state where he had a chance.

This from a virtual NeverTrump.

All I can say is I am seeing a ton more Trump signs than McCain or Romney ever had in southeastern PA.

I never know what is or isn't irony. But this definitely feels like "irony": if Trump wins, there are definitely going to be many, prolonged investigations culminating in prosecutions and convictions. If Hillary were to win, these investigations would be finished forever. I appreciate her vote, but her reasoning is definitely lacking.

You bet I visited Allentown and Harrisburg environs this week. Trump/Pence signs everywhere. Crookeds signs almost invisible.

She’s probably thinking that things would still continue to be “fair.”

I think Rat internals are seeing a huge spike in the perception of Hillary as crook now. And Trump as things that are far more benign that that.

When they turn from Hillary — oh what a turn that is.

Hillary has hanged herself... I won’t be salacious and complete the metaphor somehow, except to say Hot Dog!

I voted early at the Fulton(Atlanta Ga) main county office on the south end of downtown. In previously voting here, all other voters have been Black as South end is mostly Black.

This time voting was heavier than 2014 (well 2016 is a presidential year and should be heavier). But this time the early voters were white. I was the only one dressed like an office worker. All others were dressed like construction workers or warehouse workers. Hmm...wonder who they voted for.
* * *
I live in a mostly Black area. Leaving my house Friday morning I struck up a conversation with a Black guy in his 50s about guns. He described how he carries a gun even though his wife doesn’t want guns around. He was obviously military for 3 or 4 years but mostly private sector jobs.

He volunteered that “of course” he voted for Trump this time.

During the primary there were frequent Bernie signs. I don’t see any of them with Clinton signs.

But this past weekend over 100 Clinton-Kaine signs went up around Emory University-Hospital complex. Clearly a small dedicated team (probably paid) put the signs up in the yards of people from a list they had. The people at these houses are no doubt mostly ideological Big-Gov types. Even if they don’t want a sign in their yard, they don’t have the spine to say so.

I saw 5 Hillary/Kaine signs up Friday in East Atlanta while going to work. It is when I passed a yupi neighborhood near Moreland Ave.

I can’t help but flick them off. Until last week, there were only 2. A Bernie sign came down after he conceded and that house has not put up a Hillary one. The house next to the Bernie supporter put up a Hillary one this last week and right on the border with the Bernie supporter. I am curious what his response will be.

I am also curious how that neighborhood will be Monday after all the FBI stuff.

Another note, I passed through Senoia, Georgia on the way back from Florida. This small town hosts a lot of the Walking Dead folk. I wonder how they like being in a place that is covered with Trump/Pence signs? lol I thought it was funny.

I love turning pollsters:

pollster: hi, can we count on your support for (local democrat running for representative in the HR)

me: is he for or against the second amendment?

pollster: he is definitely for the second amendment, although he wants to close the gun show loophole (etc)

me: who does he support for president?

pollster: he supports hillary clinton for president

me: well, hillary clinton is widely regarded as a gun grabber. what typically happens to a nation’s citizens when a government confiscates guns? have you ever been in a war? would you like to live in a country in which the government does not trust you to defend yourself? (etc)

i keep going until i get the pollster to agree to support trump or until he hangs up on me.

My sister has been insisting that she and her husband were going to write in Pence. Kept telling me that I couldn’t possibly vote for Trump. Yesterday was the first day I sensed some waffling.

Start of the 2nd debate she texted me... Trump is a buffoon. You can’t possibly vote for him. My reply...
WATCH ME!!!

He’s lost 95% of the female vote! I texted back.... utter nonsense. This Ga girl is voting TRUMP(she’s in Knoxville).

Sister has a choose life tag on her car, so I remind her that Clinton supports partial birth abortion. Also remind her of Supreme Court.

She’s still worried about Trump’s bluster causing an international crisis. But, like I said, she’s finally starting to waffle. And, if she is, then so is her husband. Hell, they don’t even like Clinton, but they wanted a Republican that was not Trump.

I also stress to her that Pence will keep Trump steady and that the true clown is Kaine.
