Yes, I did too! Supported him early against Dewhurst - another RINO.
Loved his stand and filibuster against Obama.
I believe Cruz ran too early for president. He was lifted up on his on petard of conservatives believing he was a constitutionalist. I believed him until he lost the nomination.
I was reluctant against Trump due to all the “conservative” media that then candidate Trump was blah, blah, blah. I was a big time Cruz supporter.
After the nomination, my eyes were opened and I began watching all of Trumps rallies. At that point, I told my husband, he has a chance to beat HRC. My husband could not believe my transformation.
I support President Trump and regret ever doubting him.
You should not have regrets because many conservatives initially thought DJT was in it to divide the party and let HRC waltz into the White House.
I too was concerned about Trump. In 2015 weeks after he announced his candidacy, I set aside a weekend in August 2015 to research at Suzzalo Library’s periodical floor for the sole purpose of digging up information about Trump. This library is much more powerful for research than the internet.
But what I found shocked me. I found dozens and dozens and dozens of examples where Donald Trump quietly and without fanfare worked outside the limelight to help people in need.
If I was to tell each of the stories where Donald Trump helped rescue someone without drawing attention to himself, I would need to write several volumes.
Here’s a little of what I found that I posted to FR in August 2015:
