Oops! TWO WHOLE YEARS you’ve been backing President Trump? Once you saw the writing on the ‘We The People’ Wall?

My bad. ;)

“Oops! TWO WHOLE YEARS you’ve been backing President Trump? “

I’m with Diana on this one.

At the very least IBD was late to the party and in 2016 was decidedly pro Bush/Rubio and other Bush League Republicans.

But, to your credit, after the convention you were pretty solid.

Thank you for being aware.

Nobody supported President Trump much longer than that. Candidate Trump, yes - but POTUS Trump? No.

Seriously, when Mr. Trump came down the escalator, I was unhappy. Why? Because I only knew of him - and, living on Long Island, I did know of him - as a real estate mogul famous mostly for a “colorful” social life and association with fake wrestling shows. And as a New Yorker who got along quite well with an awful lot of Democrats, and was not known for conservatism in any way.

And you have to admit that it is not difficult to name billionaires who are notably “liberal.” Let’s just mention that well-known “Republican,” Michael Bloomberg. I really only got comfortable about his candidacy when he published that list of SCOTUS nomination candidates.

Bloomberg is talking about buying the Democrat nomination and the presidency, and back then it sounded exactly like “The Donald,” as he was known, was assaying to do exactly that in the Republican Party. Or to simply get the nomination, and let Hillary win. Like Mitt did.
