Trump Inspires a 92-Year-Old Woman to Register to Vote for the First Time

Last edited Sat Nov 21, 2015, 07:25 PM - Edit history (1)

Just a few weeks shy of her 93rd birthday, Beada Corum is hard of hearing and needs corrective lenses.

But when Donald Trump speaks, Corum hears and sees with clarity the only politician that she feels is worth voting for -- for the first time in her entire life.

Corum, who introduced Trump at his rally in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Monday night, has registered to vote for the very first time with the express purpose of being able to cast a vote for Trump for president.

Trump inspired her. Not Obama, not Carter, not Reagan,not Bush Daddy, not Bush Moron, not Clinton, not Nixon, not JFK, not Johnson, not Eisenhower, not Truman, not FDR, not anyone but Trump.

IMHO we've been fortunate she couldn't vote up till now.

She may have left it too late.

One really has to wonder what about him inspires her more than "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" or "Ask not what your country can do for you..." Is it:

“When someone crosses you, my advice is ‘Get Even!’ That is not typical advice, but it is real life advice. If you do not get even, you are just a schmuck! When people wrong you, go after those people because it is a good feeling and because other people will see you doing it. I love getting even. I get screwed all the time. I go after people, and you know what? People do not play around with me as much as they do with others. They know that if they do, they are in for a big fight.” The Donald

Yeesh.

or maybe hard of listening.

Either way, it's not due to age. If, and that's a big IF, this puff piece propaganda is even true.

...I mean, wouldn't that be punchline to this joke? She never had a birth certificate or no longer has it and can't get the right i.d. and so can't vote?

I can imagine Trump inspiring people to vote for the first time just to vote for anyone but him. He is a revolting scumbag.

Before anyone get's their panties in a bunch, my mother, mother-in-law, and favorite aunt died from Alzheimers' so I think I have the right to laugh at that insidious disease.
