She Watched Him on TV

From a story in USA TODAY about voters in the three Rust Belt states that put Pootin' in the White House:

"In Luzerne County, Pa., Democratic county council member Eileen Sorokas — who volunteered for Obama, voted for him twice and even named a couple of ducks after him and the vice president — voted for Trump and is confident he’ll be a great president.

“He’ll handle himself pretty good,” said Sorokas, 69, who lives in a county where coal-mining jobs are gone and once-booming factories have long been shuttered. “I watched him on The Apprentice. … I think he’s a businessman and he’s going to do a good job. His livelihood is here.”

Pootin' won Pennsylvania by 44,292 votes, Wisconsin by 22,748 votes, and Michigan by 10,704 votes. That's 77,744 votes in three states combined that changed American history for the worse. Adding insult to injury, Green Party candidate Jill Stein got 49,941 votes in Pennsylvania, 31,072 votes in Wisconsin, and 51,463 votes in Michigan. If the Stein voters had switched to HRC, nobody would give a shit what Pootin' was tweeting at 3:15 AM on Tuesday morning.
