A recent mailbox experience out by my road had me face to face with a canvaser for our upcoming August 6th elections. Keep in mind this is a GOP state. She asked me if I was going to vote and I said yes. She pushes her candidate so I reminded her of several things written on the literature mailed to me.

All the candidates want to "build President Trump's wall" when Trump is no longer president and the wall idea in full scale is impractical.

All the candidates want to "prevent China from buying up our land." This should be interesting and might take years. I remind her that Hitler owned land in Colorado.

Fentanyl is now said to be coming from China but it has always been used in medicine here in the U. S. How did this happen? It is also worth noting that when we charge China tarifs it only hurts those who buy the products because the buyer pays the tarifs.

The last thing I told her is that Trump would use our taxpayer money fighting with his enemies when it could be used for betterment of us all and shore up some needed programs.

Well, she did not know anything about Trump or his programs she said and I reminded her that some of what I said was on the very literature she was passing out. How could she not know? How would the Republicans think I would not know? She played dumb and got away from me as quickly as she could.
