Trump marks the turn of the tide.

In my mind, Trump ties Ronaldus Maximus for Best Prez.

The more he listened as the campaign went on, he explains, the better he understood that the Democrats definitely hated Donald Trump and the Republican establishment hated Trump. All the lobbyists on K Street hated Trump. The Chinese came out against him. India came out against him. Mexico came out against him.

Harry says: “I figured I must have a candidate because everybody who’s coming out against him are all corrupt, and he’s an outsider. So, I said, ‘I think I found my candidate.’”

...

That’s close to what I went through.

I’d been saying for years on FR that we needed an outsider. I just had no idea it would be Trump.

Put them in a bag and shake them and they all come out the same.

Hillary, THAT is why IT HAPPENED.

I had Trump figured out when he came on the scene.... but I wanted to do some research on what he was like before. I had known of his marriages... and had seen Melania one time with him somewhere on the news.

In research, I found him to be a very giving man. He was wealthy and liked to share anywhere he found a need. Several different occasions he helped by using his plane for someone, or he just gave money to others for a room to stay in or food to eat. He didn’t care who the person was... a nobody.. he would help them.

I found out he was a democrat but he sat and talked to anyone. . didn’t matter what their politics were. He liked to talk and talk... he liked to mix around a crowd... very friendly.. and was as much at home with the poor as the rich. He seemed to have no bad habits that I could see... just a very rich man who lived very rich.

None of that bothered me at all. The fact he liked to help made him a giving man... that was very good. Then when I saw them come down the stairs, I knew he was good enough to vote for and that he would keep his promises... the research showed he had done so in other things.. and it also showed he loved his country.

As of today, I don’t care what he ever did before 2016.. he did not live his life in secret to impress voters some day... he lived it as a person with nothing to hide.

I am a Christian... with high expectations. I live a life that is as Christ like as I can day to day. And NOTHING they come out with about my President, makes any difference. We needed a person of his talents... there are plenty preachers... but few men with the stamina and spine of Trump.

Those who do the talking.. the media. .. the accusers... they DO bother me a lot. The more they charge against him and the more they attack... makes me dislike them more than the day before. They are barking up a tree that will bear no fruit.

THEY are the reasons Trump came along and THEY are the reason Trump won... obama was more than this country can stand in one generation... and I knew who hillary was when they came to Washington from Arkansas. She and bill are not fit to be in that office. So the more they attack our Trump, they just keep us tighter to him.. the more they hate him, the more I want justice for all their crimes.

They think Trump and his voters are trash... not too bright... but it’s THEY who are way out there on a limb where there is no sense left any more... just raw power and money.

Trump has proven to be a strong man... keeps his promises and loves his country. He still dances with the ones who brought him and he knows more than the elite will ever understand.. they don’t get it and never will... pride and wealth seeking does that.

Me, too. I decided that Trump was the only one who would fight back against all sleaze, all the time from the Dems. Enough of this ‘gentlemanly’ attitude. I like Gentlemen, but when you are up against all the garbage being spewed from the Left, you cannot simply stay silent, like GWB did for the last two years of his Presidency and the whole eight years of Obama’s. Now the Bushes are all chummy with Barry and Moochie??? ENOUGH!

I had read about him, as a young adult, he used to go to his (rich) father’s worksites and talk to the workers, the hard-hats there. He treated them with TOTAL RESPECT and they noticed (hence the article...some people remember him from that long ago).

He continued to do the same throughout his years as a builder.

That told me all that I needed to know about him.

I had the same impression of Trump.... good one and he’s proven himself.

What does it say for the rest of the elite I didn’t realize were elite until they showed themselves to be such ugly people and full of hate. They really had a stronghold on our country and I did not realize how deep in the pit they were.

Trump isn’t the cause he is the result. How many years of b.s. from both sides of the aisle before real change got elected. Over 30..

Salena Zito gets it..almost always has. She’s been reporting from the outside for quite a while. Is this an excerpt from her book?

I think most of us are simply BLOWN AWAY by how horrible the people are who we thought were on OUR SIDE.

...to the point of hating Trump so much (and by extension, us), that they wound up HANDING HIM THE NOMINATION, and now he’s doing a bit of house cleaning, at their expense.

For example, all that they needed to do in the Summer of 2015 when Trump come down his escalator and said that we needed a Wall...all they, or even ONE REPUBLICAN, needed to do was say something like:

“while I don’t necessarily agree with how he presents it, he does have a point regarding how porous our southern border is, and the huge numbers of people already here illegally”

THAT WAS ALL. They didn’t have to agree that ‘Mexicans were rapists’ (as they claimed to have heard it), just say that TRUMP HAS A POINT.

But did ANY of the other 16 Republicans even go that far, the people who we are told are on OUR SIDE, did any? NOPE...the closest anyone came was Cruz who said something like “I don’t have a problem with what he said”. The rest wanted NOTHING TO DO with Trump and immediately run over to the Democrat side to call him a RACIST.

...and with that, Trump had what he needed, a clear DIVIDING LINE between him and the rest of the pack, and they handed it to him. IDIOTS.
