I never used words like that, but I had my suspicions about Primary Candidate Donald. Putnam could echo what a lot of us now say, that we were wrong, voted nevertheless for him in the general election, and are ecstatic now that we did. Better, however, that he exposes himself as a liar.
I didn’t think much of trump during the campaign, but I voted for him and am damn glad that he is POTUS now.
I thought there was no way that he could/would win, no chance at all. Very happy to be wrong.
