The fact is that nearly all conservative commentators were at some point NeverTrump.

One of my favorite political commentators, Victor Davis Hanson, was strongly opposed to the unelectable and undignified Trump until mid-2016. He is now one of Trump's strongest and most articulate supporters.

I was a pro-Cruz (then a reluctant pro-Cruz) conservative until I became a Trump supporter. I worried that long-time democrat Trump was a stealth democrat. I have never in my whole life been so happy to be wrong.

My point? We should be forgiving of those who eventually see the truth. And for those who are big-government globalists who ignore the constitution's enumerated powers? Treason is a serious issue and their betrayal of our country should be treated as serious.

Ditto for Mark Levin. He was against Trump in 2016 but eventually came on board and is now a big Trummp supporter.

I’m with you. Was worried that Trump was a liberal Trojan horse. But in reality it was Bush that was. Romney, Ryan, McCain too.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Ronald Reagan was the candidate I voted for in the 1980 general election. I did not vote for him in the Tennessee primary, because I thought he was just an actor. But when he ran for reelection in 1984 I voted for him in the Tennessee primary and then in November in the general election.

I did the same for George W.Bush 43. I did not vote for Donald Trump in the primaries and actually had to fight with myself. I defended Ted Cruz a lot from freepers because they were against him because he was born in Canada to a natural born US citizen from Delaware. Many thought he was not eligible for the presidency. I am sure he would have been told if he had not been eligible.

I did not vote Ted Cruz but I had nothing against him. I voted for Marco Rubio, because I liked what he had to say. Many did complain because his parents came from Cuba, but he was born in Miami, which made him a natural born citizen.

Now to Donald Trump. I had to fight with myself at first because of his behavior, bot over time he made sense to me. So when it was time who to vote for in the general election as he would surely get the nomination, I decided to vote for Donald Trump, which I did. We had on March 3 our primary in Tennessee and voted for the people President Trump needs in the November election and I will vote for him again on November 2.
