This clip of a conservative mother and daughter explaining why they can't vote for Trump in Iowa should have Republicans scared.

May this be repeated all over the land!

1. Interesting that they both like Harris

She's from that scary California, after all.

But I'm glad they they are looking carefully for a candidate that has policies they can support.

[thesquanderer]

16. also interesting that the daughter's friends often prefer Warren and Sanders (nt)

[Cary]

2. I.cannot like these people

I find them to be smug and self.righteous. Their ideology barfed up Orange Hitler and they have the nerve to call us extreme?

[abqtommy]

4. I seriously question that I would find all left-leaning voters to be likeable

according to my standards but I wouldn't reject any vote against tRUMP. Just saying...

[Cary]

8. I think our path to our own salvation lies in rational thought

"I voted for Orange Hitler because I voted against Hillary Clinton" is emotional, not rational.
If
There are enough people of reason to ensure that reason prevails. I still feel I can trust people of reason. I don't feel that I can trust the people in the video. And remember that Orange Hitler, himself, is not the problem. All Republicans are the problem.

3. Good.

The guy doesn't seem to have his head screwed on, at the moment. Fingers crossed!

[TryLogic]

6. Yes. Two halfway reasonable women and a stupid old white guy.

I need a shirt that says I am "Not a typical old white guy".

[BigmanPigman]

18. I am a visual person and can't help but notice physical

appearances. Right off the bat that very white guy looked like a typical doofus (regardless of who he supports). His facial expression speaks a thousand words.

[SamKnause]

5. The mother voted for and campaigned for Chuck Grassley.

There is no hope for these people.

They think they are moral, but they are not.

The man did not vote for anyone, he voted against Dems by voting for Trump.

They should all be so proud.

[progressoid]

23. And there are a few million more like them out there.

[mcar]

7. May this be a trend!

[StTimofEdenRoc]

9. Recovery comes in small steps.

[elleng]

10. Yes.

Would be good if we would recognize and encourage it.

[MyOwnPeace]

11. What a CHICKENSHIT answer from Dad!

So it was a "protest" vote, huh?

And you're not sure if you need to "protest" anything about IQ45 yet?

WHAT AN ASSHAT!

[BigmanPigman]

19. "If the Asshat fits, wear it"...he does so with pride.

[Faux pas]

12. Love me some conservatives

with actual critical thinking skills!

[FakeNoose]

13. I find this encouraging and hubby is standing right there

...maybe hubby is sick of Chump too. Maybe he listens to his wife but doesn't want his friends to know.

We Democrats need to get off our high horse and realize we NEED these people. They're the voters that will make the difference next year.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. At the root of all is the character issue

it explains everything about Trump and his administration

[Polly Hennessey]

15. I see daughter falls right in line with mother

No independent thinking there. Dad is a fool and by his nervous laugh he knows he is.

[Blue_true]

20. The Mom and daughter are the type of republicans who

elected a freshman democrat to Congress from a reddish district. Or who elected a democrat Governor in conservative Kansas when the choice was a super crazy republican. Or who will likely re-elect a democrat Governor of Louisiana. Or who help elect Sharice Davis to Congress. There are times when we don't need their vote, but in purple and light-red states, they mean the difference between victory and defeat for our candidates at all levels.

17. Go Kamala! And Liz too!

[Wednesdays]

21. Better late than never,

I guess...

[genxlib]

22. I will believe it when I see it

I heard a lot of people talking like this in the summer of 2016.

When push came to shove, a significant fraction of them held their nose and voted for Trump anyway.

When the truckloads of campaign cash fill the airways with scary stories about Judges and healthcare, that is when the rubber hits the road.

[Hoyt]

28. Exactly. In fact, I think that's the reason exit polls were wrong. People were ashamed to admit

they voted for the racist, cad, lying, etc., deplorable. But behind the curtain, it was easy.

[genxlib]

29. Agree 100%

[CrispyQ]

24. The dems need to bust the false narrative that the republican party is conservative!

Why don't they hire a marketing firm? Or George Lakoff? They should have been challenging the conservative adjective since 2000 at least!

[littlemissmartypants]

25. Him standing there smirking, behind them reminds me of dotard behind Hillary at the debate. nt

[underpants]

26. That's great! We've got TWO VOTES!!

[Soph0571]

27. Heh. Sarky pants:-)

It MIGHT be the start of something?!?! Granted it might not but I will grab hold of any hope at all!

[pattyloutwo]

30. This clip

Shows what an uphill battle we have; but also that we’re doing it.

[corbettkroehler]

31. Kudos To Sen. Harris - Stank Eye To Bernie Bashers

To everyone here who criticized Bernie for pursuing tЯump voters, I defy you to watch this video while retaining the same position.

Senator Harris is to be commended for her strong performance. If the election were held today, the 2 women in the video identify as conservative and would vote FOR THE DEMOCRAT.

Pursuing tЯump voters is good politics, period!

[Hav]

32. I don't get the optimism

For 2020 maybe but they sound as if they'll continue to vote for Rs not named Trump. And this talk that some Dems have crazy views about immigration is also telling. Not sure how the situation in Iowa is but looking at the demographics, being that occupied with that topic seems strange.

[Hortensis]

33. I'm rather shocked at the negativism. My take was very

different. The mother and daughter both said they can't vote for Trump but needed a Democrat who wasn't "crazy" on immigration and other issues, and we know all our top prospects are sensible on the subject, even if they don't yet. It's going to be our nominee's job to go ahead and reel them in.

The dad was a typical male, more conservative than them. No telling how he'll come down, but he emphatically wanted it on record that he did not vote FOR Trump but against Hillary. Assinine, but really bad for Trump. Evil Hillary, who out-evils all comers, won't be on the ballot this time. He'll need to offer his women a different excuse or give in and commit to wanting it on record that he didn't vote FOR a Democrat but against Trump.

They all illustrate why the Republicans are very worried about all our solid Democrats, but right now especially Biden, as reassuringly un-crazy as state fairs each summer and as comfortably familiar and nice as...himself.
