Beware of Cucks collaborating with Commies.

I initially liked having Trump in the contest, even though I supported a different candidate, because I expected him to shake things up and bring up topics the other GOP candidates would probably avoid. And he was even better at it than I expected! I guess there were A LOT of people out there just like me, that wanted crucial issues brought to the forefront. Enough of them, even, to carry the day. I am still laughing.

I was for Cruz during 2015 primary, then early 2016 when the Cucks started blaming Trump for dem paid violence at his rallies and assaulting Michelle Fields, I started siding with Trump. I was tired of Conservatives acting like Social Justice Warriors and siding with the media

I jumped on the Trump train pretty early just because I thought he was fun to listen to and watch

I haven’t yet heard a sane argument against Trump. The man works 27 hours a day, he’s delivering on his campaign promises, he left a fortune on the table to serve his country to say nothing of the lifestyle he gave up, he commits random acts of extreme kindness when no one is looking and he does not curry favor with a thoroughly corrupt press. In fact, he calls them out. By name.

How do you not love that?

I didn’t like Trump at first myself. But I didn’t like anyone else running either.

I remember Trump talking on Fox News and knew that he had voiced opinions that were certainly not my brand of Conservatism.

I was considering not voting in the primary.

But as the primary contest wore on I saw in Trump a willingness to call out the Left for what they are and to call out the wimps on stage with him for their vacillations; Trump began to grow on me.

As time wore on Trump reversed himself on most of the things I had against him so I decided to support him in the primary.

And in the general he wasn’t Hillary so I voted for him. ;)

Confirmation that some pols are real slow, real stupid. This is not surprising and is really not newsworthy.

What would be newsworthy would be if McCain comes out and says he likes Trump and seems sincere about it. But that will never happen because McCain may just be in the crosshairs of the Trump DOJ.

These Betacucks cockroaches only know which way the wind is blowing. It’s not popular to be with the D.C. Establishment, and so they are pretending to be with Trump when their previous side is losing.

They should not be trusted at all. They have no spines.

I was intensely critical of Trump in GOP Primary.

Santorum was my first choice, Cruz my second, but I knew both were unelectable in the General Election against Clinton.

I never criticized Trump after he locked up the Nomination, and I voted for Trump in the General.

I'm still skeptical about some of his policies and his promises, but it is very refreshing and very enjoyable to have a national Republican leader who actually fights for something, and gives as good as he gets.

My grandfather was an NYPD detective from Jackson Heights, Queens who knew Fred Trump, President Trump's father. Back in the 80's when Donald was in the gossip news our mom used to tell us what our grandfather said about Fred Trump and the Trump family and how they were the most sterling people he knew. They would help out the families of cops, firemen, and working guys down on their luck. In 2009 I met Trump personally and chatted with him for half an hour. The most respectful, nice, and impressive person I ever met (and I've met a lot of VIPs).

I threw my support behind Trump when I heard Limbaugh talking about Trump's Presidential candidacy announcement and played his press conference. "I'm rich. I'm really rich." LMAO.

I hated Trump...until his announcement speech in June 2015. He was the ONLY candidate running for president that made immigration and border security is TOP PRIORITY.

For others, they would give lip service to the issue - by saying something like:

“Improve Education, Support the Second Amendment, Restore Water Rights for Salina Kansas, Fix grandma’s outhouse in North Dakota, Secure the border, Increase the tread-wear allowance on Firestone tires, Update the Furniture in the Williamson Indiana Social Security Office, etc.”

They just didn’t seem to prioritize or even understand what that issue meant to the base - but there was Trump, holding it out FRONT AND CENTER that day. And only Cruz gave him any respect...and then even that was tepid. But the rest of the Republicans thought he was the next Hitler. If ANY of those Republicans had respected the issues Trump was bringing up, they could have defeated Trump in the Primaries (in my opinion), but they simply were not capable of it.
