On a commute home during the primary, I distinctly remember Mark ranting about many of us who were a bit peeved at him for blasting Trump when his guy Cruz was making an ass of himself and trailing in the polls - he didn't come out and say FreeRepublic but made mention of donation driven web sites and how we were some sort of losers not able to compete in the free market and hid behind usernames. I listened as Mark used his gifts and intellect to make some pretty crappy strawman arguments - called us Agrarian populists (whatever that is)
Once you become skeptical of something or someone subsequent actions are viewed in an entirely different light - I've come to appreciate much more the back and forth that goes on here at Free Republic in forming my opinions.
All that being said - I was excited about Jeff Sessions being AG - double doh!
I’m with you there....some people are just better at the jobs they are in and should just stick to them.
Honestly? I didn’t think DJT would make a good POTUS at first, either and I voted, too, for Cruz in the primaries. I really really hated it when there was that nastiness on camera during one of the debates, though. (I don’t even want to “describe” it....ewww.) It was awful. Even though it didn’t change my stance on him and the issues, it sure did grossed me out and I wished it didn’t happen...and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
But - I have come to love our President and I’m damn glad it worked out the way it did. I do believe he’s doing his best to Make America Great Again.
