I'm not sure if he was a never-trumper, but he didn't support him early on during the primaries. Washington state republicans were big on Ted Cruz (as was I). Rossi, as well as most WA state republican officials I think try to distance themselves from Trump, and pander to the independents that are more liberal.

I think most of them are real weak on the illegal immigration issue, as they pander to both the liberals and the crop growers that use seasonal workers. And I think the politicians AND the voters are too stupid to realize that illegal immigrants are different than temporary legal immigrants used for the crops.

I wouldn’t expect Rossi to be ahead in the polls in the 8th district and at the same time be a Trump conservative.

In July 2015 I was also anti-Trump because it seemed he was sent by HRC to divide the GOP so that she would have an easy time walking into the Oval Office.

I imagine Rossi was taken in the same way.

Of course, I was wrong. My research found Trump to be the opposite of what I had feared. I was shocked to learn this candidate was a rock-solid patriot who was a master of trade, banking, insurance, regulatory matters, and so much more.

But most of all I determined his sincerity for our military and our vets. It was mind-blowing to learn of the real Donald Trump and not the one portrayed by the media:

Many notable persons were Never-Trumpers, Mark Levin, Michael Reagan, the Bush family, Rush went silent on DJT and talked Cruz only.

People in the 8th district have likely started a shift towards President Trump as they see he is a measured and practical leader. I see the shift in perspectives here in the 7th district. It’s not yet safe to mention Trump but more and more people are coming to the Trump view and many who were virulently anti-Trump have tempered down and are no longer belligerent.

So there is a shift happening. I expect Rossi will support the Trump agenda in almost every area.
