The 2020 presidential election is right around the corner — and in the realm of presidential campaigns the process has already started.

Let’s say you really don’t want Donald Trump to win again and you do have friends or family who have voted for him. Your goal might be formulating a conversation for your friends/family that might give them pause in voting for him. Really, it usually is one item that might make the difference but be assured, no one who voted for Trump thinks he is perfect. You really just need to find out what is the trigger for that person. What does Trump do for them that makes them loyal.

I started this for a friend…..a friend who said I can’t argue the points; I’m not good at convincing people they voted for Trump for the wrong reasons. Of course, many are thinking right now, those people who voted for him are idiots or so far to the right that I couldn’t even think of convincing them to vote for someone else in 2020. Not so. Trump is so imperfect that there are many many ways to carve a path for people not to vote for him. You need to be persistent and convincing. 

In this blog I will try to hit on various issues that might seem daunting to argue or convince someone, but they are views that interconnect and make it easy to give your point of view without making it seem like your target voted for the wrong person.

At this point I will put in a disclaimer. There are some people who voted for Trump who are racists, misogynists, homophobes or right wing lunatics. Those people are not worth the trouble for these arguments. If they are not misinformed, they are in the category of people who you probably don’t want to associate with. So leave those to the side.
