CURTIS, Nebraska - The only health clinic here is shutting down, and the hospital CEO has blamed Medicaid cuts in President Donald Trump’s signature legislation. But residents of Curtis - a one-stoplight town in deep-red farm country - aren’t buying that explanation.

“Anyone who’s saying that Medicaid cuts is why they’re closing is a liar,” April Roberts said, as she oversaw lunch at the Curtis Area Senior Center.

But, at the end of the day, if you want people’s votes, you’re going to have to figure out how to display some level of empathy, because openly hating everyone who votes differently hasn’t worked to win them over to your side.

First of all, I hate them for who and what they voted for and not becsuse it happened to be different. This isn't some pick a team and hate everyone else thing, they chose evil.

I also don't want their votes, and chasing those votes is a fool's errand. Spending the time motivating disengaged people to show up like Obama and other candidates with positive messaging is the path to success.
