He has presided over two years of remarkable success. I didn’t vote for Donald Trump. I was afraid his obviously improvised campaign, imprecise explanations concerning how he planned to achieve his policy goals, and unsettling antics presaged a disastrous one-term presidency if he somehow managed to win. Unlike Bill Kristol and his ilk, however, I never considered voting for the execrable Hillary Clinton. So, knowing that Trump would win my deep red state anyway, I voted for what’s-his-name from New Mexico. Predictably, I was surprised when Trump won. But that was nothing compared to the astonishment I experienced when it dawned on me that he’s a remarkably effective President.

I agree!
Actually I didn’t vote for Trump either, nor did I vote for George W Bush, or Dole, or George HW Bush, etc, etc.
In every case I voted AGAINST the idiot anti-American morons they were running against. In fact about the only President I can say I actually voted for was Reagan when running for his second term. For his first term I would have voted for Satan before I would have voted for that idiot from Georgia. Ditto for ‘the bent one’ zero, and the hildabeast.
Pat Buchanan brought this up back in the 90’s, saying, “The rest of the world and the elites are content with the US being the cops and the farmers.”
Life is tough and buy voting is easy. You provide others with your opinion and are somewhat informed, what was he problem? Trump is the same person he has been for years and has competed items on his campaign so that is not the problem. Have you asked yourself if you are honest? Maybe the problem is you?
“I voted for what’s-his-name from New Mexico”
Gary Johnson? He went libertarian. Good article, though. It kinda makes you feel all warm inside...
Elections involve comparative choices. So this guy thought Hillary Clinton was a better choice?
Anyone who believed he wasn’t experienced enough to be POTUS, isn’t experienced enough to vote.
In others words David as a professional pundit you suck, have bad instincts and are out of touch with main street.
I voted for McCain.
But I could not bring myself to vote for Romney.
Well said!
I voted for President Trump and will do so again in 2020. When he rode the elevator downstairs at Trump Tower, I immediately decided he was what America needed. He has not disappointed me one bit. I just feel sorry for him now as I don’t think he really knew exactly what was in store for him by the press and the Deep State. He’s grown into his job and he has my 100% support.

I am a big supporter of Tim West, Tom DeLay, Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Ben Carson, Rick Perry, Ted Cruz, Dwight Eisenhower, Alan West and DONALD TRUMP~!
I wasn’t For TRUMP from day one, during campaign, but I think that
Donald TGrump is THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB right now!!!!
While many people claim to like Trump’s policies, while disliking his personality, I was the opposite when he was running during the primaries. I was skeptical of how conservative he was, but I’ve always liked the guy’s personality. He shoots from the hip and doesn’t mince words. And he backs up his bragging by being a doer and a workaholic. On the other hand, I disliked Obama immediately. Even before he ran for president when he was being talked up as a future Contender, I got bad vibes from him. I guess different kinds of personalities appeal to different kinds of people.
I didn't vote for McCain, I voted for Sarah Palin! Wish she had been the presidential candidate!!!
Good point..I did too actually.
Both times I voted against Obama!
Palin was a pleasant surprise but my primary motivation in 2008 & 2012 was to vote against Obama!
What a DU BASS voting for the POTHEAD!
President Trump has done an outstanding job under the circumstances! I am glad I voted for him.. Course he couldn’t win my deep blue state!!!
