“I’m not voting for Trump this year. My heart will not let me do it. I can’t vote for someone who is that ugly to other people.”Since then, the 47-year-old hasn’t been invited to parties, and the Zoom happy hours have been few. Trump’s support among Republicans has been stable throughout his time in office. For all those voters repelled by Trump, there are diehard legions who remain solidly with him because they believe he honored his campaign promises, shows strengths and has presided over an economy that was flourishing before the pandemic.
“Joe Biden’s a family man and so am I, and that’s how I’m connecting with him,” said Jensen. “He loves his kids and his wife, you can tell it. For me, he’s the safer of the two candidates. And he doesn’t make fun of people.” Her first serious inkling that he didn’t align with her values was when he nominated Betsy DeVos as secretary of education. Jensen, who is a librarian at a high school, felt that DeVos wasn’t qualified.
But after her divorce, she moved into a “regular, $200,000 teacher’s home,” and later married a man who coached high school football. She was solidly middle class and happy with her life, but couldn’t understand how her wealthier friends didn’t see what was going on with anyone but their own kind. Hispanic immigrants? She noticed several in the school where she worked. It made her think of Trump’s fixation on a border wall. “The wall really bothered me, and the inhumane way we were treating Hispanic people.”
But she also is not alone — and she’s still a registered Republican. Across the country, others who voted for Trump came to the same conclusions she did: He isn’t the man they thought he was. “I should’ve voted for Hillary. I think she would have done an outstanding job handling the issues we’re facing today,” he said, sighing.James Farr, a 77-year-old evangelical Christian who lives in Kissimmee, Florida, voted Republican in large part because of his opposition to abortion.
Stoudemire says most of her friends are Republicans. “We don’t talk about the election a lot. Because our friendship is too important. They’re aware of how I feel. What other people think about me is not my business.”
TimInHonolulu Ugly in words and deeds.
I prefer the even uglier backstabbing racists
MaggieAstor Did she miss Joe telling the President to shut up? Or call him a clown? Interesting take.
She’s just realizing that NOW?
You found one.
I want to thank all of people for voting for Biden. You will be responsible for raising our taxes. I'm glad you can afford it but are some of who can't. Thanks for thinking about your fellow American.
Y are you doing the PR for Biden. You supposed to let him fight his fight. True Journalists should be ashamed of you.
She doesn’t deserve Texas .
Related story. Former Nazi shunned by Nazi friends when she decides to no longer support Nazis.
Good for her
babylon_slim Yeah but Joe biden has been responsible for locking up more black people than most anyone in history. Look up his drug war bills. He voted for the iraq war and patriot act. Don't pretend like Joe biden is even human.
Fake news from the liberal press
Did she get a heart transplant, bekause her heart let her do it in 2016
I’ll be your friend, Shawna!! As an ex-GOP with the majority of my friends and family in Texas ghosting me, I know exactly what you’re dealing with.
Wonder if his debate performance brought her back?
walkawaycampaign
Good. However, it's certainly an odd turn of phrase to say that your heart will not let you do it. As if the rest of you is gung ho.
paigepierm Even Trump’s Wife is voting for Biden JoeWonTheDebate realDonaldTrump
Was she in a fucking coma in 2016
Well, stupid, let's see if ugly works when that tax law Trump passed that benefited u is reversed.
Must Read! President Trump receives third nomination for Nobel Peace Prize
Is this news? Sounds exactly like a political ad i just saw on TV. What happened to journalism ap
Biden is no better.
Oh no! Not one whole vote 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
He was that ugly then too. She just finally pulled her head out of her ass.
Voted independent in 2016. Republican for every presidential election since Reagan until then. Voting blue in Wisconsin.
Ditto!
KarimalaKay Destroying a country may not be a good political strategy.
I'm not voting for Trump 'cause he's mean! I'm voting for Joe Biden, 'cause he's clueless! And because he encourages all the rioting!! The things that pass for journalism.
politicalchicky Texas is about to flip Blue.
Hopefully other woman will see it too. Thought he was horrid in 2016 and every week there is something to back up my natural instinct. It's not fake news, it's the truth. He's not someone you would be proud to have as a son.
Tell Shawna if she wants to do a Zoom happy hour, send me a DM!
gtconway3d Don’t worry we will flipthe Senate and impeach and remove so the history books can reflect what a loser he’s always been
MRSmithAP This is a really good, thoughtful article. Thank you.
Where was her conscience when he mocked the disabled reporter? Etc., etc.
Thank you for your honesty
Biden lied to the American people about the accident his family was killed in. Calling the other driver a drunk, when in reality he was not and it was told that if there was a fault it was Mrs. Biden's fault. He has used his dead family for political gain for sympathy and votes.
MRSmithAP He was ugly to people in 2016, but good for her for being willing to see the truth. I'm amazed at people I know who refuse to see it.
GloriaCampos He was just as ugly in 2016.
Nice campaign ad... oh wait!
Think about it again, Shawna... A vote for The Trojan Horse is a vote for the far left, ie a vote for the evil CCP. A vote for 'The Sleepy Trojan Horse' is a vote for the far left, i.e. a vote for the evil CCP and their leftist cohorts taking over America.
Kris_Sacrebleu He was just as ugly in 2016.
Look at how sad the Associated Press has become. The news media is only interested in Trump slander and quit reporting the news.
I see people are “struggling” with this. Don’t. Welcome those who are willing to change their minds with open arms. And remember that we still need to be one united country when this election is over.
He was that damn ugly in 2016! Amazed that you didn’t see it then! Democrats look pretty good after seeing the 💩Trump has put us through!
Hey no one gives a fuck , take the ap propaganda and shove it !
She has to realize she already did.
Let’s not make it hard for people who voted for Trump last to now vote for Biden.
'I cannot vote for someone who is that ugly to other people... *Again*' She only gets half credit and half redemption. Only after some serious introspection to figure out where she went wrong enough to do it the first time that she gained full credit, and another chance.
“That ugly to other people “? That’s where you draw the line? Well, better late than never. You are forgiven. Go and “sin” no more.
More narrative disguised as news, sorry fake news
Also associated press.. “ACB tied to faith group that subjugates women!!!” I guess anti-Catholic bigotry isn’t ‘ugly to other people’
Good for her now, but he was always this ugly. How did she miss that before?
Too bad this wasn't her impression in 2016.
How dare he be ugly to Iran & not send them cash for terrorism. How dare he be ugly & impose the strictest sanctions on Russia. How dare he be ugly & stand up for the U.S. & working people within.
trump was a racist, a bigot, a liar, a cheater, a thief, a snake in 2016.
I haven’t heard anyone comment on his looks!
Anyone who supports this POS in the WH Has No Humanity. TrumpLied200KAmericansdied
Whatever 😂
AP you are fake
Shows what intelligence it takes to vote Biden...very little
Ugly to other people? Seriously? Has she seen how Joe responds to regular people asking tough questions at his rare appearances? He’s rude as f&k to them.
We hope that many Americans who formerly voted for Mr. Trump will change and vote for Joe Biden.
Seeing a lot of 'how did she miss it' And know what? I don't give a fuck. If she helps get him out of office, I'll forgive her. We need him gone. If being nice to people like her is what it takes BE NICE. It costs nothing.
lol shallow voters.
Of course bet all defectors regretting it now.
Enjoy 4 more years
Conservative Hypocrisy. You claim to be Patriots waving the American flag, supporters of the Constitution, Police, Law & Order, the Military, our Vets and yet you defend a president who doesn't pay taxes to fund these institutions & dodged Vietnam service. Smell your own bullshit
Here’s a story you’ll never see: A voter who DIDN’T vote for realDonaldTrump last time but loves what they’ve been through the last 4 years so much, that they’ll be voting for him now. This person does not exist.
He was ugly to people long before 2016.
The AP found 1 virtue-signaling white woman who's using her 'platform' to morally-virtue-signal to the masses.
The Corporate Propagandists are at it again. I seriously doubt she actually voted for Trump the first time But, you had to come with at least one there didn't ya.
Ion even follow y’all and I’m seein this bull 💩 cmon man
(1) Did not read this story; wait for another follow up to tell an opposite story, someone who voted for Mrs. Clinton now for Trump. Don’t say there is none. (2) until then, maybe people can taste “a taste of great journalism from AP”. (3) AP is quite partisan these days.
So, the whole Democratic and media - one and the same - campaign is Trump is mean and we need a vegetable (referring to Biden’s brain activity) that cares about people’s feelings. What a load of crap. We need a good president, not a “transitional” candidate.
MaxBoot Good for these people. I often ask myself, if Trump had run/won as a Democrat, would I have turned on him by now? And the answer is always YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!!
Heart let her in 2016 though so kinda a shit heart anyways
Apparently she didn't see trump campaigning at all in 2016.
This is news how? Many voters switch each year, it’s why we go through this charade. If there’s no news stories, maybe you should look harder or simply say so. Oh that’s right you’re not so much about news but keeping churning out emotional click-bait. 💁🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤫
So Damned Biased- no longer legit news
MaggieAstor So she would rather vote for child sniffer instead
She's just a weak minded, easily manipulated woman. No loss to the majority
Awaiting the next story from AP, about the Hillary voters switching to Trump - fair reporting?
Well if china Joe and harris is elected, she can get ready for a lot more taxes, more lousy and expensive healthcare, a lot less job's, more on welfare, ilegals, cartels and terrorist running through our country at will, and when the police is gone she needs to call the demorats
gtconway3d Trump pushing through the Supreme Court appointment before the election will release many conservatives from feeling they need to vote for him. Pro-life Catholics can now vote for a fellow lifelong Catholic instead of a twice-divorced con man who uses the Bible as a prop.
'They wanted disruption' is white privilege.
gtconway3d Shit, lady, you didnt notice how ugly he was to other people in 2016? Mocking a disabled reporter wasn’t enough for you?
Bye bye Shawna! We don’t need you.
gtconway3d I voted for trump in 2016. I am that suburban mom now voting for JoeBidenKamalaHarris2020
gtconway3d What was she watching in 2016 when he belittled his opponents? Does the phrase 'crooked Hillary' ring a bell? How about tweeting Lindsey Graham's phone number or saying Ted Cruz's father was involved in the JFK assassination?
Change can be a good thing and in this instance, I believe it is correct and good that she has changed her mind. If friendship is lost over politics, it was never a real friendship anyways. No loss. Good for Shawna.
If women can’t let their emotions aside, then there is no reason to let them vote. The Republic is the the realm of reasoned debate and fact-based logic. Not emotions overrunning judgement
But her heart was ok with him making fun of a disabled report Newsflash: he’s always been a horrible piece of shit! Glad she’s at least changed her mind.
SHOW ME JUST 1 MEDIA OUTLET WHO SHOWS ANYONE WHO SWITCHED FROM DEMOCRAT IN 2016 TO A TRUMP SUPPORTER IN 2020. I PERSONALLY KNOW OF 3 INDIVIDUALS! BUT MSM NEVER EVER SHOWS THEM. THAT YELLS YOU EVERYTHING ABOUT WHICH SIDE THE MEDIA IS ON! ITS A F****** DISGRACE!
Can you be any more biased in your reporting than this? You’ve gone all-in on pushing the Democratic message. How about all the voters sick of rioting and violence who have turned away from the Democrats? Or those who see Biden’s dementia? Don’t tell us there aren’t any.
When someone stops thinking and gets their emotions hijacked by propaganda
Hard hitting journalism here. How do you do it? Somehow, you've located a Texan mother publicly stating she just can't vote for Trump. I'm impressed it didn't lead with 'Sources close to the Texas mother say...'
6King_Prophecy I have some bad news for you, lady.
Now to Biden supporters voting for realDonaldTrump in Nov
Why ap is in a political campaign against realDonaldTrump
Partisan journalism?
That ugly to people? How ugly are democrats, cnn msnbc? This is the most ugly, hateful regime in our countries history. realDonaldTrump is fighting back on their terms, their rules.
Most ppl with a brain feel this way.
None of this psychological warfare works on the right/ centrists... You understand that, don't you? The 'We all hate him, so you should too' BS doesn't work to a non-conforming or an individualism mindset. The more you roll out collective Trump hate, the more we rebel. Landslide
So inspiring
The anti trump propaganda tells me the AP is worried
Seeing all these stories of people who voted for Trump in 2016 but switching to Biden this year. Funny. You mean you can't find one person in America who voted democrat back then & now is voting for Trump? Not one? Seriously, How do you sleep at night? Your conscience bother you?
That’s such a stupid point! you are loving it, because you bias
AP 'NEWS': Pimping for DNC
What an amazing story one random person is voting a different direction
🐃💩
It is amazing how people will vote for a person to run a nation that cannot do an interview with the questions given prior. Without a teleprompter. Without taking half the time off to regain energy. A man who cannot remember who his wife is or even when he got into office 47 yrs
a dementia sufferer with over 4 decades of collecting taxpayer sponsored paychecks in exchange for nothing is not a fit choice for POTUS-
The literally ran in 2016 on being ugly to people. This is not a new development. But I guess she gets a pat on the back for only doing it once and not twice.
Because feelings...!
Hmmm, people like Georgia say just the opposite: What gives, ?
Because in 2016 he was known for kindness and compassion.
Right, like the Democrats are really lovely people
THIS is being ugly to other people.
“I’m pro-life, but I just feel that Republicans have become so hung up on our abortion stance that we are letting this man ruin us.” That's why nunsonthebus do great work about multi-issue assessing of candidates. Cheers to those who shared their stories & their 2020 vote 4 Joe.
90% of national politicians are some of the nastiness, most vile people on the planet. Love how Trump is billed as some lone low-life. She think Hillary is a Sunday School teacher? Or Biden was ignorant as to what Hunter was doing? LOL
Biased, shit reporting as usual.
Where did find her? Now find someone who voted for Hillary in the last election and has flipped red. This shouldn’t be hard to find
