Everybody and their Momma keeps screaming about how Trump has a liberal past, donated to Democrats, in pictures with the Clintons, etc. But everything he has said has been as a private citizen. His words then had as much of an impact as a statement from the Kardashians.
He was never in Congress, or in any public office, actively working with Democrats, not doing a damn thing about stopping Obama, or stopping the Bush spending spree, or stopping Clinton. He didn't lie to conservatives during the campaign only to flip them off when he was safely re-elected.
This is why conservatives who support Trump DO NOT CARE about his past statements, associates, or the fact that he doesn't have a 100% ACU record. He's a DOER. Trump is a roll-up the sleeves, old-fashioned, point A-point B person. And that's why everybody is starting to get on the bandwagon and support him. That's why Palin has endorsed him.
I guess I’m just not a follower.
And boy is that a unique talent in Washington DC where no one knows how to do anything. To change a lightbulb they call an electrician and then complain when he is an hour late, causing them to miss a critical staff planning meeting to brainstorm talking points for the upcoming staff semi-annual strategic offsite. When he charges transit time to get from his office two hours out thrugh a nightmare of traffic, on top of the repair price and a stupidity surcharge it really sends them through the roof, and they go to the office and spend the day - on the taxpayers dime - comparing with their office mates horror stories about getting screwed by their contractors.

Ah, the same strategy used to put Souter, Kennedy and others on the Supreme Court. How did that work again?!
For that matter, as someone who walked the walk as the most anti-Branstad Republican in the state, how did you like having Terry all but endorse Trump yesterday.
Oh, private citizen. Well that makes all the difference.
