The Don't-Goof-This-Up Situation

I sat and looked at this picture (from the AP folks) off Drudge this morning.  President flew down again and had a half-day of activities in Houston again.

In this scene....the older gal had pulled up and President Trump walked up and had a brief chat with the older Houston gal.  As you notice the moment...she has embraced the President with her hand on his left arm....a sign of connection.

I paused over the moment.  She likely left that epic meeting between herself and President....teary-eyed and emotional.  She probably drove back home and talked to her husband 'Lester'....noting how she'd bumped into Trump.  'Lester' probably asked if it affected her, and she probably went on for two hours talking of this one brief moment of dialog with Trump.  Eye-to-eye....chatter over the weather, the flood, the compassion of people....Trump giving her a chance to say something that was bothering her, and for a brief time....she felt up-lifted.

Maybe she did admit that she voted for Hillary.  Maybe she even suggested that she had voted for that McMuffin-guy.  Or maybe she admitted that she'd forgotten about voting that day in November.

Here's the thing....on any given day, you might take a turn and stop in some parking lot....and President Trump might suddenly walk up to your car-window and want to start a chat.  Don't goof this up.  Offer up a 'howdy'....speak with some respect....and say your brief sixty-word commentary.  This is it, your one brief moment in life when you might be able to influence or bring some insight to a situation.  Don't screw it up by admitting you voted McMuffin.
