Political Discourse

 Today at run group, up popped the subject of Donald Trump. Love the guy or hate the guy, I think we can all agree that The Donald is an excellent conversation igniter. Evvvvveryone has something to say.

Except me at run group.

I will say NOTHING political EVER in front of the people at run group. 

Truly, I would dive in front of a tractor just to switch the conversation topic away from politics at run group.  

So today, when people started volleying Trump around the room, I was like, “Think think think. Think, Amy. Change this, Amy. Think.”

And then it came. I heard myself say, “I wouldn’t make out with Trump OR Biden. But I would make out with Kamala. Also Obama. Definitely no to the Clintons. Strong yes to George W. Not George HW, because he died.”

No one chimed in, and just like that, the conversation transitioned to books and reading. 

Now that I’m not in the heat of the moment, I’m looking back this is list of who I’d get with, and I’m realizing that I was spot on. I wouldn’t change a thing.
