I was arguing with Freepers that Trump doesn’t shoot from the hip. Everything he says has a purpose.

You were 98th, Laz. You just barely made it! :)

Here's an amazing factoid: During the 2016 campaign, Trump did 323 rallies with 1.4 million people for an average of around 4,500 people per rally. That is just an amazing stat considering that large venues were pretty much out of the picture for security reasons. Almost every rally had thousands more standing outside who couldn't get in.

Who here remembers Nick Carraway? Debating was a lot of fun.

I was with him 100% on Escalator Day.

The confirmation was when a pissy reporter asked, accusingly, something like, “Do you think you should stop calling them ‘anchor babies’?”

He thought for a couple seconds and said, “No. I think I’ll call them ‘anchor babies’.”

I’m yelling, “YES!”

Once I saw that Cruz wanted to increase the H1-B program by 500%, and that Trump was a fighter, I was on the Trump Train. I think that happened at the end of 2015.

Damn. I wish there was an edit feature here. I meant to say you were 9th. 9th is pretty good.

I was all for Trump but thought it would be an impossible candidacy, so I backed Cruz until Cruz tried to blame Trump for what was obviously false-flag violence at one of Trump’s rallies - that was March 2016 IIRC. After that, Trump all the way. And nothing he has done or been unable to complete in the meantime has changed my mind.

I looked at my 2 boys while about to tee off on the 1st hole at a local golf course about August 16, 2015. “Remember this day...Donald Trump is our next president.” They looked at me like I was crazy.

“If I wasn’t the actual first Freeper to back Trump, I certainly was in the top 10.”

If I remember right, you and I were same day. He started giving people grief and I think he could hear me in Colorado cheer him on.

4 years ago, a friend asked who I thought would get the nomination. I replied, “what do I think, what do I hope, or what do I fear.” Trump was my fear. How times have changed!

After hearing him speak in Mexico City during the summer, I knew he would win, and was on board even before that.

Thank you, Lord, for President Trump! Certainly His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts!

“Trump is our last hope to saving our Constitutional Republic and culture.”

Yes, he is.

Still, we have Ebola area Congolese in Lexing-freekinton Kentucky with rolls of $100. Horse country. There’d better be some serious security there.

ALL we’re going to need is a disease vector. Essentially, on the border, we have it.

It is ODD to me that the ‘elite’ think they and theirs are immune to any of this.

I was interested in a couple of candidates but became a Trump supporter the moment Sarah Palin endorsed him. Once that happened, I predicted that Trump would get the nomination and win the Nov election in a landslide.

I cheered as he came down the escalator! And I was at his FIRST campaign rally at Sun City Hilton Head (Magnolia Hall) where he gave us Lindsey Graham’s phone number! :-)

I didn’t switch from Cruz to Trump until around mid August of 2015.

Back in 2011, there was talk of a Trump run. I opposed it real bad and boy was I wrong.

I came on board the Trump Train a month later in july 2015 when Donald Trump was interviewed by Frank Luntz. Trump nailed it about McCain whom I had despised for many years. Here’s the link to this great interview:
