So how do you feel now? Do you still wish another Republican had won the election?

Yes, but no other Republican WOULD have won the election. Besides, Trump is not really a Republican- he's a patriot.

I supported him from the beginning, which is why I'm back here again, after having left for many years.

Thank the Lord for JR's discernment.

Fair enough. I understand that some people still feel that Trump does not pass their conservative litmus tests. You define him as a patriot - not a Republican, but I would posit that real patriotism is the bedrock of republicanism.

It's become obvious since he was elected, that Trump is executing his duties as CIC in a manner more consistent with conservative / republican ideals, than any president in our lifetimes.

I have little faith that any of the other Republican candidates in 2016 would have (or could have) come close to what Trump's accomplished in a scant eighteen months.

For the record, Trump was also not my first choice, but it didn't take long for him to convince me that he was the best choice.
