YES. I won the vote of a Trump supporter!
Everyone who cares about our country could learn from my story:
At a campaign stop, he asked me what I think of Trump. I said the hard truth:
"I feel sorry for most of Trump's supporters. Many struggling people have been lied to by the media, like FOX News." This caught his ear, and opened him up to what I wanted to tell him:
"People of Ohio have a right to feel abandoned. Jim Jordan votes against the will of the people 97% of the time."
I asked him his concerns for our district, and he told me, then asked me "What would you do differently?"
That opened the door for me to tell him about the bills I'm writing that would help people like him in Ohio and across America: social security protection, crack down on domestic violence... bills Jim Jordan and his ilk would never write.
"I want to be a fighter for everyday Ohioans, even the ones who disagree with me on some issues."
He paused. He thanked me. Then he said,
“Tamie, I’m voting for you. even though I know you’re a Democrat…
"Because no matter what you think about Trump, you don’t hate Trump supporters. Especially not ones trying to have a better life.”
He had voted for Trump and Jim Jordan because they think he was listening to them.
The the truth is, they aren't.
But I am.
Help me get the word out, and together we will kick the world's worst politicians OUT of power. 👇🧵
