There are people I know who love President Trump and think that he's the greatest thing that's ever happened to America. I understand those people. I'm not shocked by them. I defend their right to love him. But I do think character and rhetoric matter.
I do believe that unless we start reaching out to minorities and women and honestly start supporting the LGBT community, there is no more future for the Republican party.
My experience is authenticity and honesty always works best with people my age and younger, and even older. Millennials specifically really respond to keeping it real about your opinions.
My family is really good at letting go of things and moving on.
I consider myself a progressive Republican. I am liberal on social issues.
I was raised in an open-minded home. I was raised a Christian, but I was raised open-minded Christian - one to accept people, love people, not pass judgment.
I do consider myself a postfeminist. I just want women to have choices - they can be CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, or they can be stay-at-home mothers and raise their kids as a job.
I grew up in a border state. I think immigration is an essential part of American history and American culture.
I'm a nonstop extrovert, a people person who loves mingling and gabbing and getting out in the world.
I'm friends with people that probably would describe themselves as socialists and people that are much more conservative than I am. I can always find a middle ground.
I know what kind of books I read on vacation, and it is not necessarily 'Diplomacy' by Henry Kissinger. No disrespect to that book; I have read that book. But not on spring break.
