When Trump fist announced he was running, I admit that I snickered, but then started listening to him. I said to my wife, what do you think about Trump? She said, I like what he is saying, and I responded , exactly. Because, that was what I was thinking about him myself. Here was someone actually talking about the issues that resonated that no other Republican would utter for fear of being labeled a racist, even though it was never about race.
Ted Cruz, who I was initially supporting never broached the topics, in fact he was criticizing Trump. for saying what he was saying. I dumped Cruz for his lack of willingness to be honest, and never looked back again.
The other one was Glenn Beck. His Cheetos stunt, where he & his two cohosts buried their faces in a bowl of Cheetos was so juvenile that I turned sway from them also, because if he thinks so little of my opinion, then he must not be as politically attuned to the mood of those people who are dedicated supporters of the Republican Party. When I saw how the Republican Party reacted about Trump, then I became a far less supportive of the Republican Party, but supported them nonetheless because Trump had to have people supporting him. When they refused to support him after he was elected, then I lost it for the Republican Party.
Looking back, I almost grateful that they did what they did, because then my support for Trump grew exponentially. That's my Trump conversion story, and I stand firmly behind it. 🙂👍 🤣
Rush changed his tune quickly.
