In the beginning, they didn’t care for Donald Trump.
“Trump’s a buffoon,” David Searles said before casting a vote for Marco Rubio in the New Hampshire primary.
“He scares me,” Rebecca Meyer said before settling on Ben Carson in South Carolina’s primary.
“He’s not presidential,” Gail Francioli said after backing Ohio Gov. John Kasich in that state’s primary.
Yet like nearly nine out of 10 Republicans nationwide, Searles, Meyer and Francioli supported Trump in the general election. And like the vast majority of Republicans, they support him still.
In fact, these one-time-skeptics are part of the bulwark that is bolstering a President whose first month in office roiled the nation.
Consider Wendy Housel of Summerville, South Carolina. She was so distraught by her party’s nominee that she cried in the voting booth. She cast a ballot for Trump anyway, and prayed it was the right thing to do.
Now? “So far, I’ve liked what I’ve seen,” Housel said.
While reporting on the presidential campaign for CNN’s book, “Unprecedented: The Election That Changed Everything,” I interviewed voters in disparate regions of America. I attended rallies for all the major candidates, as well as both parties’ conventions. Perhaps not surprisingly, given the size of the GOP field, most Republicans told me they didn’t initially back Trump. Even some people who voted for him in the primaries did so only because their first and, at times, second choices had dropped out....

Beware of Cucks collaborating with Commies.
I initially liked having Trump in the contest, even though I supported a different candidate, because I expected him to shake things up and bring up topics the other GOP candidates would probably avoid. And he was even better at it than I expected! I guess there were A LOT of people out there just like me, that wanted crucial issues brought to the forefront. Enough of them, even, to carry the day. I am still laughing.
I was for Cruz during 2015 primary, then early 2016 when the Cucks started blaming Trump for dem paid violence at his rallies and assaulting Michelle Fields, I started siding with Trump. I was tired of Conservatives acting like Social Justice Warriors and siding with the media
I jumped on the Trump train pretty early just because I thought he was fun to listen to and watch
I’m sick and tired of Conservatives falsely using the race/sexist cards against other Republicans
I haven’t yet heard a sane argument against Trump. The man works 27 hours a day, he’s delivering on his campaign promises, he left a fortune on the table to serve his country to say nothing of the lifestyle he gave up, he commits random acts of extreme kindness when no one is looking and he does not curry favor with a thoroughly corrupt press. In fact, he calls them out. By name.
How do you not love that?
I remember Trump talking on Fox News and knew that he had voiced opinions that were certainly not my brand of Conservatism.
I was considering not voting in the primary.
But as the primary contest wore on I saw in Trump a willingness to call out the Left for what they are and to call out the wimps on stage with him for their vacillations; Trump began to grow on me.
As time wore on Trump reversed himself on most of the things I had against him so I decided to support him in the primary.
And in the general he wasn’t Hillary so I voted for him. ;)
I have only just seen this word today.
What does it mean?
Confirmation that some pols are real slow, real stupid. This is not surprising and is really not newsworthy.
What would be newsworthy would be if McCain comes out and says he likes Trump and seems sincere about it. But that will never happen because McCain may just be in the crosshairs of the Trump DOJ.
These Betacucks cockroaches only know which way the wind is blowing. It’s not popular to be with the D.C. Establishment, and so they are pretending to be with Trump when their previous side is losing.
They should not be trusted at all. They have no spines.
>>the Cucks started blaming Trump
>I have only just seen this word today.
>What does it mean?
It’s a spill over from the /r/the_donald on reddit.
Means sell out/people who put foreigners interests before Americans/Weakling/general insult.
The term comes from cuckold or a man who lets his mate sleep with other men. It’s a general hit on weak men unwilling to defend their own.

BOOKMARK
What does it mean?
It is short for cuckservative.
Or, for a shorter treatment, you could look it up in the Urban Dictionary:
cuckservative
A name for weak-willed wusses that pretend to be "conservative". They are often found in the Republican party. A cuckservative is a cowardly pussy who sucks up to leftoid equalists for mercy and pisses himself when he gets accused of racism, sexism, or anti-semitism.Jeb Bush is a cuckservative
Cannot remember which talking head said this on Monday “ President Trump is first politician to actually deliver on his campaign promises”.
Amen!
Santorum was my first choice, Cruz my second, but I knew both were unelectable in the General Election against Clinton.
I never criticized Trump after he locked up the Nomination, and I voted for Trump in the General.
I'm still skeptical about some of his policies and his promises, but it is very refreshing and very enjoyable to have a national Republican leader who actually fights for something, and gives as good as he gets.
My feelings exactly.
