There have been two very interesting stories that broke in the last several months that the mainstream news media have avoided like the plague. Both involve women who will not be voting for Kamala Harris. One was a tried and true blue Democrat and the one was apolitical who has never voted before in her entire life.
Evan Barker – Former Democrat Operative
Evan Barker is a young lady who was a Democrat Party operative who raised millions of dollars for the party. She attended the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer and came to the conclusion the elite donors to the party (dark money) are the ones holding the strings of power calling the shots, not the average American Democrat Party citizen donor.
Barker noted her reasoning for her decision stating, “They control what the candidates prioritize and I know that Republicans also have this issue, too. But Democrats are much bigger hypocrites about it and so I think what it comes down to is just the hypocrisy and the fact that I don’t recognize this party anymore.
You know, they have become the party of Dick Cheney, of Goldman Sachs, of endless proxy wars, of identity politics. You know? And I’m just at a point, you know, I have been very brave the last couple weeks and gotten a lot of flak from a lot of people.
I’m just at the point where I can’t stand it anymore and I have to speak out. That’s why I’m here.”
Barker explained in her interview how many people of her Midwestern (near Kansas City) family voted for Barack Obama in the past, now they are Trump voters. She said her family roots are largely blue collar union workers and she explains how she has been both poor and middle-class in her life.

While Barker has not committed to voting for Trump and the Republicans in this election just yet, she has made it clear she will no longer be raising money or voting for the Democrats from here on out. She has also been interviewed by RNC Co-chair Lara Trump about her observation on how the Democrats have seemingly lost their way.
Danica Patrick – Celebrity NASCAR & Open-Wheel Car Racer
Danica Patrick is a young lady who grew up in the Midwest as well in Roscoe, Illinois. She was raised in the world of racing. She has raced in many NASCAR races as well as the Indy 500 some 5 times. She won the Indy Japan 300 in 2008. She was once romantically involved with Green Bay Packer Quarterback Aaron Rogers for two years back in 2018.
Today she is a noteworthy podcaster with her own very impressive website where she is into both health and merchandise (https://www.danicapatrick.com).
During her recent Fox News interview with news personality Jesse Watters, she gave her reasons for coming out for former President Donald Trump.
“Danica Patrick backs Trump, says she’ll be voting for the first time” – Fox News
“I had no time or energy to understand politics. I went from not watching the news for about the last six years to basically, since the start of this year that is all I watch.
Last December, probably like your viewers are familiar with Charlie Kirk, he put on a very big event here in town Phoenix called AmFest… Tucker spoke, Trump Jr. spoke, Vivek spoke, there were so many great speakers and I posted some pictures afterwards. Of course it was very red, white, and blue. Red is also my favorite color. And I basically just said, ‘I love this country, AmFest, America Fest, I love this country, it seems like the place to be.’
And it just drew so much media attention as — I just – it was so confusing to me how when you say MAGA it’s meant to be an insult. I am passionate because it feels like voting for Donald Trump is like the vote of reason, it’s like the rational, reasonable choice. I feel like most of all though, what this country could be if he gets into office with all of the amazing brilliant people that are supporting him, I feel like it could not only make America great again but make it greater than is ever been.”
CONCLUSION:
Like so many folks in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, we love our Danica Patrick even though she now lives out in Arizona. She is between the ages of my two children at (born in 1982) so I think of her as one of my own, having watched her grow up locally. The things I adore about her (besides being easy on the eyes) are she is very smart, very strong, and has a wicked sense of humor.
Danica Patrick recently sent a strong 6 word message to those critical of America, “You can leave if you want,” as she announced her support for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race.
Like our family, she can also have a temper and a foul mouth, too.

Dad used to say, “There is book smart and there is common sense smart and you are far better off with common sense smart because we already have too many over-educated idiots in society.”
Liz Cheney might be book smart but both Evan Barker and Danica Patrick are common sense smart. We need more like them and less like Liz Cheney. The RNC should tap into the intellect of these two women, NOW!
