“Please be honest. Let’s start with honesty. Trump has done much more good in his lifetime than supporting Dem and Rep shysters. You write as if that’s the ONLY thing Trump has done.
Come on.”
To many long time Republicans it is impossible to believe that the party would nominate someone who gave money to Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Hillary Clinton.
It is impossible to believe that the party would nominate someone who less than three years ago gave $ 25,000 to Terry McAuliffe who won the governor’s race in Virginia 47 - 45 % with 6 % voting libertarian. That election we needed every hand on deck, and Trump was supporting the Democrat. Now he just made 200,000 felons voters. Wouldn’t it be ironic if those felon votes kept the state from Trump.
So yes, for people who have volunteered for the party for 40 years, supporting candidates they loved, liked, and even disliked, it is going to be hard to accept that the party is nominating someone who has been working against them so many times.
Something Trump is proud of is bringing many non-voters into the process. Those supporters probably don’t sympathize with the long time Republican very much. The first reaction is probably just to hurl more insults. After all, it seems to work for Trump. At this point I don’t think the insults are helping him any because now that the primaries are decided, it’s up to Trump to unify the party.
Not to mention $6000 to Kamala Harris for her re-election bid in 2014. One of the driving forces behind sanctuary cities, and now running for Babs Boxer’s Senate seat here in CA.
Kate Steinle grew up two towns from where I am now. And Trump gave $6K to an extreme leftist like Harris?
