I couldn’t believe those words came out of my mother’s mouth this morning. She’s always been a staunch Republican. My mother and father watched Hillary’s acceptance speech last night. My dad is firmly behind Trump, and my mom was too...until last night. She said last night she saw a different side of Hillary. She saw the loving, warm and motherly side of Hillary. She said she literally cried as the DNC video was played and while Hillary gave her speech. She said my dad didn’t notice. This morning when I was on the phone with her, she told me “don’t tell your father, but I’m voting for Hillary”. I asked her if she was serious because for the past several months she defended Trump over and over again. Last night’s speech was amazing and everything it needed to be. She swayed some voters. My mom wasn’t even all that swayable, but she swayed her. I’m going to make sure I keep reaffirming my mother’s decision — we are in the swing state of NC and every vote will matter. Now if only I could get her to back Cooper over McCrory in the Governor’s race…
