I’ve been a Trump supporter since his first debate when he said that he would run independent if he didn’t get the GOP nomination.
I also said throughout the elections that he was probably going to not be the GOP great that he claimed he would.
I was wrong, obviously, but who can blame me ?
The Clinton’s / Kerry’s / Heinz’ / Schumers / et al are his friends. They party together.
He is a NYC resident. Which means he is not nor will he ever be, a freedom loving patriot.
On many issues he is fiscally conservative. But on matters of freedom, international policy, and even domestic social policy he’s been on the wrong side for more than 20 years.
Now of course he’s proven me wrong. And I’m happy for that. He had my vote since day 1 because he wasn’t Hillary Clinton. And the rest of the GOP field was basically Hillary Clinton. All of the GOP contenders were actually RINO traitors. Trump wasn’t a traitor. He just wasn’t that much of a conservative to begin with.
When I voted this time I didn’t hold my nose. I prayed. Everyone at my polling place prayed (We are 85% Republican in my area, 96% vote Republican in my district) because he literally saved the world from destruction.
There is a difference between myself and a “never-trumper”. I was “Yes Trump” all the while acknowledging that his liberal friends and associates had to be or else he wouldn’t make it as a NYC business man and developer.
I had to pray that his relationships were only there for that purpose - to be a successful city developer.
I still don’t see my 2nd amendment being protected in any real way.
Excellent post.
Aside from getting judges in place, how would a president fix the 2nd Amendment, when the States and Congress are responsible for laws?
A very well reasoned post. We have much in common.
I still don’t see my 2nd amendment being protected in any real way.
The alternative would have been destruction of the practical destruction of the Second Amendment.
That was one thing that did not worry me.
Trump went to parties but he was not a partier.
He went because that is part of doing business. Of that I was sure.
But the rest, yeah, that worried me.
I had been stabbed in the back so often by guys who knew just the right thing to say.
I pinned my faith on his reputation, not the social but the business reputation. I hoped because I knew people who knew him who told me stories about him that were not in the media. Acts of niceness where the person involved had no chance of repaying him in any way.
And prayed.
Still am praying but also giving thanks.
I've been a Trump supporter since Herman Cain was marginalized.
