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.

    The media continues its never-ending quest to find and interview everyone who has ever voted for Donald Trump.

        Maybe that’s why they support Trump because “the other side” doesn’t listen to them or help them to understand why Trump isn’t going to help them.

      They’re doing exactly what they did in 2015. Endlessly talking about Trump. Regardless of what they say, it’ll be a billion dollars of free advertising for him.
