The teacher's union always told me to vote for democrats... but I tried to remain independent and selected the best candidate regardless of union endorsements. In 2016, I wanted ANYONE BUT HILLARY. I held my nose and voted for Trump with no great expectations. I remember waking up the next day and thinking "what have we done?"

Shortly after the inauguration, I attended one of President Trump's Thank You Tour rallies and that solidified me as a Trump supporter forever. I remember looking around at the people in the arena and thinking how "normal" they were and feeling that I belonged.

Since that time, I have donated to the party (a first for me), taken my family to lunch at Trump Tower NYC, and TRIED to attend another rally (got 10 feet from the entrance when they shut the doors).
