IT’S SENATOR PICK ANOTHER PROTEIN!

Gotta love Mississippians. “Pick another protein?” She don loss her goddam mind.” So they picked another senator instead. Scott Colom. 🎉🇺🇸

She done lost her damn mind.

In this video, Donald Trump was in Corinth, Mississippi, to help Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith keep her seat. Scott Colom, the Democrat running to take it, went to the same rally and started talking to people waiting in line. “What matters to you as a veteran right now?” he asked one man. The man brought up gun rights. Others talked about the price of gas and the war in Iran. Now Colom has defeated Hyde-Smith, and I keep coming back to this clip. Here was a man running for the U.S. Senate who walked up to people waiting to cheer for his opponent and gave them the first word. Watching him, I thought of Mark Antony in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. By the time Antony rose to speak, Brutus had already persuaded the crowd that Caesar had to die. Caesar was ambitious, Brutus told them, and killing him had saved Rome. One man warned that Antony had better say nothing against Brutus. Another called Caesar a tyrant. This was the crowd Antony had to win over. “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears,” he began. The first word matters. He called them friends. Then he repeated the argument they had just cheered. “The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious.” Only then did Antony ask them to think about something they had seen with their own eyes. Caesar had been offered a crown three times and had refused it each time. “Was this ambition?” Go back to that line in Corinth and watch what Colom does. He could have opened with everything he thought Cindy Hyde-Smith had gotten wrong. Instead, he asked a veteran what mattered to him and let the man answer in his own words. You can hear gun rights, gas prices and the war come up because Colom gave people room to tell him what had brought them there and what was on their minds. Antony understood what his audience had already been persuaded to believe. Colom went to Corinth to find out what his audience cared about. I think that Ian what makes this clip worth watching. Before he asked those voters to give him a hearing, he gave them one. May the day break

A New York City husband cried tears of relief after he said his pregnant wife was pulled alive from the rubble of a building collapse in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood.
