Lifelong GOP Voter Makes Stunning Admission on CNN: ‘Hillary Was Right’

A lifelong Republican voter who cast his ballot for Donald Trump in 2016 now views things quite differently, admitting to CNN on Wednesday night that Hillary Clinton was “absolutely right” about her opponent in that year’s election.

Texas Trey said on Laura Coates Live that his choice back then “wasn’t so much a vote in support of” Trump, but rather against the former secretary of state, who “didn’t have anything to offer that necessarily appealed to me.”

When asked if the events of the past eight years have made him rethink things, Trey responded affirmatively.

“Yes, absolutely,” he said. Clinton, he added, “was absolutely right about everything that she said. Although I didn‘t necessarily pay too much attention to the things that she said, going back, hindsight‘s very clear. Very clear.”

Trey explained that he won’t be supporting Trump this time around because doing so means jeopardizing the country’s institutions.

One guy with an opinion they agree with, so he gets a whole article. Journalism.

I would drink a beer with Obama or Bill Clinton. It would be interesting conversation but I suspect rather vapid and of no substance. Hillary is a no for me. I have a thing about evil. I do not want to drink a beer with Trump. I want to interview Trump and ask all the questions the Main Stream Media will not ask at the peril.

I will crawl across hot broken glass to vote for Trump.

“A lifelong Republican voter who cast his ballot for Donald Trump in 2016”

Did he provide PROOF of the above, or are we instead supposed to take his word for it?

Get ready to hear from all kinds of “concerned former Trump supporters” who, after listening to 8 straight years of daily/hourly bull**it about him in the media, have somehow had a political epiphany.

I frankly don’t know what else they can throw at him; and, I’m guessing, neither can they.

“means jeopardizing the country’s institutions.”

That’s the best reason to vote for Trump.

“Texas Trey said on Laura Coates Live that his choice back then “wasn’t so much a vote in support of” Trump, but rather against the former secretary of state, who “didn’t have anything to offer that necessarily appealed to me.””

Sounds like a pretty stupid reason to vote for or against someone.
