Just finished canvassing in Trumbull Country Ohio-awesome experience. [View all]

It went really well. Honestly, better than 2012. People were enthusiastic...only one person said he was not for Hillary but not voting for Trump either...started early in the afternoon and just finished. I am feeling better about Ohio after this. I had been ill earlier in the campaign and then my son got married so I have done more phone calling than canvassing...it was great. People were enthusiastic about Hillary and had heard about the FBI trying to elect Trump which surprised me. I was a great day...met some nice people and some darling dogs! Like I said it was way tougher in 12...was yelled at etc. Several people yelled out the car window and said ' thanks keep up the good work'. That has never happened before. Others thanked me for doing this after I knocked on their doors. No one complained and everyone was nice. They told me someone comes through and steals their Hillary signs every time they put them out...not a Hillary sign anywhere...deplorables. I am still worried about Ohio... and thankfully there are other paths...but after today...hey I am cautiously optimistic.
