Trump was an ex-Democrat and an unknown quantity.

My arguments at the time weren’t, “he is so terrible”. They were, “”Cruz is a proven conservative and Trump is an ex-Democrat who we can’t trust”.

#1 - I didn’t think he could win and was a Dem plant

#2 - I still believed that Republicans were “conservatives” who wanted to save America.

#3 - I didn’t think Trump was as conservative as Cruz.

He’s probably not as “conservative” as Cruz but now I understand that being conservative is not what’s important. What is important is wanting what is best for the people of America. Not backing down and being willing to fight and sacrifice for the things you believe. That definition of what is important does not apply to 95% of elected “conservative” officials.

Again, I admit I was wrong. It is weird that you would continue to criticize someone after they clearly explain that they understand how they got something wrong.

Ya. I did not criticize you. Do difficult to ask questions without getting attacked

Same way you say you didn’t trust a former democrat I can say I don’t know about people who didn’t trust Trump. Which is the majority

Cruz was never going to win he is tone deaf. Cruz lost me with the importing foreign workers vote

Trump always loved this country it was obvious to me

And he was not a former democrat politician but people don’t see that
