I'm not sure of the source but it has Trump winning.

Her message said "this makes me feel better ... Biden is not physically capable of serving 4 years". And she knows that Kamala is NOT the right choice to be the leader of our country.

I share this as all hope is not lost on the younger voters. I guess I worried about her going off to college and "becoming liberal" .. my prayers and our family discussions are working!

Your involvement in her life has probably prevented her from becoming liberal. I feel sorry for the ones who don't have strong fathers

My oldest and her 2 younger siblings, who are in college, are all voting Trump. They are super MAGA.

I'm jealous. My daughter at Tulane has a Bernie sticker on her car and my overeducated idiot sons are all in for Biden.

It's their mothers fault. I raised them better.

I'm the mom BUT she's got both parents at home and from day one we were involved in their lives -- not enough to where they didn't make mistakes BUT enough to provide a healthy balance. And dinner every night at the table for those of us who were there and not at an activity .. maybe it helped after all.

Then I have a 3rd year law student inn Norman that took the time to drive 2 hours just to vote blue in person. Lastly I have a son that an engineer in the patch near Tyler that’s red. Kids our tough. I don’t know how we had a blue one.

You can only do what you can do. I prayed ... a lot ... when she went off to college. Was never worried in that way about my boys .. card carrying, gun toting, stocked with ammo who vote MAGA.

I don’t understand this correlation of education and liberalism

Grant it, I’m probably a little older than your kids but I have a couple of degrees and I’ve voted Republican in the presidential elections since 2008

In some ways I’m liberal but I know enough to know the country should not be run in a liberal manner

I think it's where you matriculate. My children went to parochial schools and private college much like myself. The difference is that a Jesuit/Catholic education today is not what it was when I was younger.

I've always been conservative. They seem to be swayed more by peers and professors than I was.

She must be under 18, which is why I haven’t asked for pics.

My six kids have probably 8-10 degrees between them, all voting for Trump. As I said before one was semi-seriously dating a guy about 5 years ago when he told her he voted for Obama.....she dumped him then and there.

I'm sorry that I assumed you were speaking as her father. Don't worry about the mistakes, my kids have made them as well. Be proud of what you raised!
