Talk to the Republicans you know as we get closer to the election.


Seriously. Not the rabid right-wingers. Just those Republicans who are otherwise reasonable people.

Don't argue with them. Just have conversations with them. Ask them about Trump and how they feel about him. Don't argue for Hillary. Just get them talking. Get them to tell you what they're thinking about November. Don't make it a long discussion. Just chat about it a little bit.

If they bring up Hillary, talk about her experience and mention something positive that will resonate with your acquaintance. If they bring up some "scandal," don't argue about it. Use the, "Well, I've never met a perfect candidate" line. Try to turn the conversation back to Trump. Ask them why they think he should be President.

Just have a conversation. Odds are you won't change their minds, but, if they're moderates, you just might make them question the reasons they're thinking about voting for Trump. Let them change their own minds.

A lot of Republicans who are closer to the center of the political spectrum are going to flip their vote this year. They need to think about it, though. You never know what will cause them to decide to mark the box next to Hillary's name. Maybe it's the Khan family. Maybe it's Trump's arrogance. You just never know.

But, have a conversation. Not an argument. Not a sales pitch. Just a conversation. Don't tell them how they should vote. Let them make the decision. But have the conversation.

Most people would tell your condescending ass to F off.

Too bad for you dummies that most of your side are rabid ideological idiots incapable of holding a polite conversation.

Use the, "Well, I've never met a perfect candidate" line.

That sounds like a real winner. 

"Trump is unqualified to be president!'
"Well, I've never met a perfect candidate".
"Trump is a racist!"
"Well, I've never met a perfect candidate".
"Trump will launch a nuke if someone crosses him!"
"Well, I've never met a perfect candidate".

Trump on his worst day is 1000 times better than hiLIARy on her best day.


'Nuff said.
