"Bernie can't even win because Hillary is going to steal it, plus he's a socialist" ...and she hates Hillary with a passion. It came down to talking pensions, COLA, social security, drug costs, etc. She said, "It will take Bernie too long to fix all that!" I asked her how long it would take Trump to do something for her. What is he offering her? After a while, she said Bernie's her man!

She believed billionaire Trump's money was going to somehow rub off on her. Supporting an obnoxious billionaire made her feel powerful. She just wanted to "get even" for her pension being robbed. That was the core of it, eating away at her.
