Would your prior posts on candidate Trump make you a 'poser'? IF I were really that curious I would look back to see what you were posting in 2015 - 2016... Your present words tell me I do not need to. The biggest thing you ignored regarding candidate Trump was he continually expressed 'we the people' are government. NO other of the bevy of candidates ever said as much.. The majority were only concerned with their principal... even though some in particular used the word 'principle'.
You, I, and all of America, got exceptionally lucky that our President has acted as he has thus far (with occasional exceptions)... but that does not mean that in 2015-16 that he was a clear choice for those wishing to restore the nation. He was a hyper-wealthy D-list celebrity with a loud mouth occasionally spouting the right buzzwords, nothing more. There are plenty of those around, and most would be horrible choices for President (Mark Cuban, the Kardashians, etc).
You don’t have to look up a damn thing. Cruz or Walker were both better candidates than Trump and I said so at the time.
I find it interesting that some of you are more concerned with fighting past battles than the future. I’ll work with someone I agree with 90% of the time to further the agenda. It is counter-productive to be digging up these old fights when the real enemy is the ones we disagree with 90% of the time.
