I remember it that way too! Every time he says thls, I’m going “whaaaaaaaaaa?”
I’m a Cruzer, too, and was agreeing with Rush at the time. Don’t worry, I do support Trump now. He is the right man for the time. God knows what He’s doing!
All I could think of with Trump at first was how cozy he was with the Democrats for so long. He grew on me through the primary process. I still remain wary, but would do so for anyone in the position. DC changes people.
I’ve always liked Ted Cruz, but I must admit I like him far more as a U.S. Senator better than I did as a Presidential candidate. I was for Cruz at first, but - little by little - Trump won me over. Took a bit longer for my husband to warm up to Trump though. ;-)
