How to Avoid a Disastrous Political Debate With Donors

We have just gone through a long, controversial, historic, passionate election cycle in the U.S. People continue to take to the streets to protest. The election continues to be a topic of robust conversation that should make Thanksgiving dinners around the country a bit more interesting this year.

Matt Hugg, of Hugg Dot Net LLC, wrote on LinkedIn:

Okay, I’ll admit it—I’ve now voted in 10 U.S. presidential election cycles. In all of those, I don’t ever remember such post-election discussions (and other means of expression), from both sides, as I do this one.

Hugg went on to ask how we should handle conversations with prospects and donors when they bring up the election, especially if they voted for the person you did not support.
