I promise I’m not a troll. Anyone reading my posts knows I’m a conservative and fully and completely support Trump.

However to help Trump win conservatives have to know the whole true history. Many have said Reagan was shown to be losing badly to Carter until right before the 1980 election. He was early in 1980 but even by early fall he had established a sizable lead. No doubt the MSM tried so hard to elect Carter but Reagan had established himself in the polls. There were a couple of moment in the debates but overall had come back. It’s just important to remember that we have to get the Trump train going now.
