When was he a RAT? He is shown as being a life-long registered Republican, and not having belonged to any other political party. He was a Never-Trumper, not a registered RAT, and admits he changed his mind on Trump, which a lot of other people have done over the past almost 8 years. I didn't care for Trump when he announced his run in 2015. I couldn't see myself voting for him. My attitude changed when I began listening to him, and I was shocked that here was a man that said the things I'd wished other Republican Presidential candidates had said over the years. He convinced me that he was the real deal, not some scummy candidate picked by the GOPe or the media, like the Bushes, McCain or Romney who couldn't fight theirselves out of a paper bag, and wouldn't even try. And I'll admit I voted for all of them. But I'll never compromise my values ever again to vote for a Republican candidate that I know won't be good for America, just to keep the office in Republican hands.
When I could first legally vote at the age of 21 back in 1968, I was a registered Democrat, because my father was a Democrat. I woke up when Reagan ran for President. Even Reagan and Trump had once been registered Democrats. In Reagan's case, I think the pressure in Hollywood back then was to be a Democrat, especially an FDR Democrat during WWII. In Trump's case, as a businessman, and especially a businessman in NY City, he had to play both sides if he wanted to be successful, and get cooperation from NY politicians to support his building projects. I don't believe he ever agreed with RAT politics. Back then it was a necessary evil for him. And he was only registered in that party for 8 years.
I'd rather support someone like J.D. Vance who publicly admits he was wrong about President Trump. Has either RFK, Jr. or Tulsi Gabbard ever admitted that they were wrong to have been RATS their whole life? Has Tulsi Gabbard ever apologized for saying Trump was guilty of crimes on January 6th? The only reason RFK, Jr. changed to being an independent was because his own party wouldn't accept him as a viable candidate. They were running full and hard with the cognitively challenged Biden. Then dumped him like a hot potato when he flopped at the debate.
The only difference with RFK, Jr., is that he wasn't offered money, or a house to drop out of the race. He was simply cancelled as a life-long member of the RAT party. Even Cornel West today said he was offered a job in Harris's Administration, if he'd drop out of the race. Isn't that rich? A woman who claims she's black but really isn't, trying to bribe a black man who happens to be her political opponent to drop out.
