Ana Navarro voted for Clinton

[Morphine Prince 109,976]

Ana Navarro, a Republican strategist and commentator, was national Hispanic campaign chairwoman for John McCain in 2008, national Hispanic co-chair for Jon Huntsman's 2012 campaign and was supporting Jeb Bush's candidacy for 2016. 

(CNN) - I didn't want to write this. I avoided making a decision as long as I could. I schlepped my absentee ballot all over the country for almost four weeks. I would periodically take it out of the envelope, look at it, shake my head in disgust, and put it back in my suitcase.

I had decided to write-in my mother as a symbolic protest vote against the Democratic and Republican nominees. I didn't want to vote for either of them.

I had hoped that a week before the election, Trump would be losing Florida by a large enough margin that my vote wouldn't matter. But darn it, my home state is too close to call. Florida could be the decisive state (again) as to who ultimately becomes the next president of the United States. I thought back to the 2000 election, which was decided by 537 votes in Florida. I thought about how I would feel if the same thing happened in 2016. I thought and I thought and I thought....

Then I cast my vote for Hillary Clinton. Let me rephrase that. I cast my vote against Donald Trump. I did it without joy or enthusiasm. I did it out of civic duty and love for our country.

I voted against Donald Trump because I am an immigrant. Trump has spent this campaign focusing on the very bad things done by a very small group of very bad immigrants. He has portrayed immigrants as criminals, rapists, and murderers. He does not talk about the contributions immigrants have made to America. He does not talk about immigrants who have made this a better and stronger country. He does not talk about the thousands and thousands of immigrant names that fill the Vietnam Wall in Washington or that are carved on so many headstones in every US military cemetery around the world.

I voted against Donald Trump because I am Hispanic. On June 16, 2015, the first day of his campaign, Trump called Mexicans "rapists." I was not born in Mexico. I am not of Mexican descent. But I knew he was also talking about me.

I voted against Donald Trump for every American who looks and sounds like me. Because we love this country. We are proud of this country. We stand as equals in the United States of America.

"I voted against Donald Trump because I am Hispanic. On June 16, 2015, the first day of his campaign, Trump called Mexicans "rapists." I was not born in Mexico. I am not of Mexican descent. But I knew he was also talking about me." 

THIS  I feel the exact same way.

When I see how these Trump voters look and talk about immigrants, I know they are also thinking about me.

I'm her fan now. How is her fandom called? 

[Lion Heart 15,041]

ITS OVER TRUMPET 

[GloZell Green 11,723]

Oh I remember seeing a video of her clapping back to a Trumpet on Twitter, she's an amazing woman.

[PartySick 174,306]

Putting country first 

I feel her. I also felt personally attacked 'cause my mother's side of the family is full Puerto Rican. Whenever I get a bit of sun, I crisp to that "Puerto Rican brown" and I've had racial slurs thrown at me before. Especially if I'm caught speaking my particular brand of broken Spanglish in public. It doesn't feel nice to say the least  There's nothing quite like being called a "spic" or a "wetback" or even being told to "go back to Mexico" even though you're a mixed Puerto Rican born in Orlando, Florida

C'mon, Hill-dawg!!

I don't like Clinton (JusticeForBernie) but that's the nuance:

she is not "with her"

she's "against him"

and that's all that matters.

[MJHolland 12,725]

Duh lol

Good for her tho 

[Delusional Aura 5,129]

Look at these little trumpets on this site be like 'oh we're not voting for Trump, we're voting against clinton'. 

[JbGaga 2,261]

Nothing about who she voted for or what race she is or anything about her as a person. But when I watch her I feel like I get dumber. Like I'm not to sure if shes all there in her head.  Seriously idk how she got a job but I'm very happy for her. If she can make it then I feel like anyone can.
