>> I despise Hillary Clinton, but she was fairly articulate and reasonably intelligent. And she didn’t go around groping little children and sniffing hair (at least publicly). She also had the excitement of potentially making history as the first woman U.S. president. <<

That's what I don't get about all the media stories about these "Lincoln Project" types claiming they are "lifelong Republicans" but Biden is the first RAT they will ever support for President. I can imagine most of the pro-Hillary "Republicans" uber-RINO types from 2016 being on the Biden bangwagon this time around (Colin Bowel Movement and his ilk), but can't imagine anyone claiming Hillary was unacceptable but somehow electing Biden is fine and dandy. As much as I loathe Hillary, at least she wasn't a creepy pedophile and was mentally aware of what was going on around her enough to run the country.

>> IMHO because the only candidate less popular than Donald Trump was Hillary Clinton. I held my nose and voted for Trump, certain he would stab me in the back (especially with judges) given his Dem history and some of his previous statements. Happy to say I was very wrong. There are many, many others like me who have been won over the past 4 years. Some didn't hold their noses and vote Trump; they chose a 3rd party. <<

And I think there is a deliberate media blackout of those of us who find ourselves in the reverse scenario of the "Lincoln Project" crowd (Coop & myself, for starters)... we were vehemently AGAINST Trump getting the GOP nomination in 2016, and even after he got it, we were STILL convinced he would be a disastrous RINO if elected, and now we have gone 180o degrees in the other direction and have been pleasantly surprised and very happy with Trump's overall record.

I remember saying in November 2016 that I was NOT happy that Trump won, but rather THRILLED that Hillary LOST.

Amen to that! It took a while for Pres. Trump to win me over, but it didn't take long for the Dems to piss me off and push me toward Trump with the "Russia! Russia!" hoax.
