I had lunch with a manufacturer rep today, fortune 500 company, six figure rep, we're a multi-seven figure account for them.

She basically asked me why would anyone vote for Trump...

To wit, I responded, how could anyone with a functioning brain not vote for trump?

I rattled off a few of his accomplishments and asked her if she enjoyed living in a booming economy and she started talking about all the people out of work, literally pointing to NYC being a ghost town.

She was getting really emotional and I asked her why she thought it was so much different here in Georgia versus NY and she literally said it was because Trump is hateful and a racist.

I laughed in her face and told her she was entirely too emotional. She said that emotions were the only way to make decisions, I shite you not.

I told her that based on my conversation with her, I need to prepare our business for a Biden Presidency and a crashing economy so Im going to place my current order with her less expensive competitor, and that's called logic and reason

She literally cried, lol

Why weren't you already using the less expensive competitor? Your decision to switch to the more logical choice seems to be the result of you being emotionally upset by the exchange.

She’s an idiot and not because she’s a dem. She’s an idiot for bring up a divisive issue like politics with people she depends on for a paycheck.

or after seeing what her company shoves out in front of the public maybe whatever perceives noncash benefits to the business relationship were no longer whatever extra he was paying

They have advantages that the other competitor doesn't have and I buy from both at times. But I felt like making a point, which I could, so I did. Have a great day, yo.
