Seems like everyone I like is turning out to have serious warts, and the guy about whom I was very cautious appears to be the real deal.
It is an amazing thing, how our perceptions change - and I'm sure there is a bit of "reality changing" underneath that, too. I'm sure Trump isn't quite as "real deal" as I think right now, but damn he's good. I have ZERO qualm with voting for him, and this is a first in my 40 or so years of voting. I guess it's more than no qualms, I actually jazzed that Trump could make a substantial (and good) difference.
As for Levin, I used to like him, now I dislike him. No big deal to me, and I'm sure it is no big deal to him either.
And how. I started out a year ago leaning Cruz, thinking he’s a fighter that understands the Constitution and the fight we’re in. And while I was impressed with Trumps entering speech, I was cautious; seemed biblically near illiterate, an east coast player, adulterer, whatever.
Now Cruz seems petty, self aggrandizing, and has clearly reneged on his word, just like all the other bastards we sent to DC with clear marching orders. Utterly feckless, and the do what they want when push comes to shove.
So I ended up voting Trump in the California primary.
