'Trump is our last shot at restoring America'

Voters in New Hampshire backing the former president say the economy is the key issue driving their support.

Miranda Blair didn’t vote for Donald Trump in 2016 because he scared her.

This week, she was wearing a bright red “Make America Great Again” hat as she waited in sub-freezing temperatures to hear him speak in Manchester, New Hampshire, as he rallied Republican voters to choose him as their nominee.

A lot happened in between to change Ms Blair’s thinking.

“Just a few years ago under Donald Trump, I felt like I could afford groceries and bring my girls skiing, and do all the things we wanted to do,” she said.

The 40-year-old sales manager voted for Barack Obama, a Democrat, in 2008 and found Mr Trump’s lack of political experience disqualifying in 2016. Disliking the options, she didn’t vote that year.

    I’m still at a loss to account for how any sentient being can listen to Trump drivel on for more than a minute without wishing for the sweet release of death, let alone actually make the effort to show up at one of his events.

      Seriously, hearing him talk for 2 minutes in 2015 I was “wow, what the fuck is wrong with the this guy?”. I can’t fathom how anyone would have ever voted for him for any reason whatsoever, but somehow people come up with explanations.

        Strange isn’t it?

        I want answers to two questions from anyone wanting my vote:

        What are you going to do for me?

        How are you going to pay for it?

        That’s it. The weird thing is that Trump couldn’t give a fuck about doing anything for me, or anyone else who isn’t already a billionaire or has nice tits and blonde hair.
