You can go back through my posts, circa 2016, and see that not only was I against Trump being the nominee, but thought those who pulled him over the line in the primaries were setting us up for a fall. I was a Rubio guy, then on to Cruz

Hindsight. I don’t think Rubio could have won against Hillary. Trump is the only one who was bombastic enough to rattle her cage, and harshly point out her flaws. It’s something I don’t think Rubio is suited for. Rubio never would have said “You’d be in jail!” during a debate. Only Trump.

I voted for Trump in ‘16 but I thought it was pointless. I was sold that the polls were crap, but couldn’t be that far off... As Trump would say... Wrong!

Well, I voted for Trump again. In person. In Arizona, which we badly need to get over the line, and keep the state on the redder side of purple. This time, when I filled that circle in for Donald J Trump... Well, to paraphrase Michael Moore - “It felt good!” I made sure that circle was completely blackened in, pressing just a bit harder than usual writing. Voted Republican straight down the line.

Oh, I did vote for Marijuana though .. Not because I agree with the idiots behind the Proposition - Mostly lefties, but my vote isn’t so they can all get high. My vote is to deny the Mexican cartels a source of income, and give those towns on the border a break from the violence. It’s a start.

I drift in and out of FR, mostly around election time and major events. It's not lack of interest... it's lack of time to keep up.

I remember the spirited debates here in 2016. I was on board Trump train early on, but I honestly didn't think he could last through the primaries. But I really liked his style. I've been a loyal R voter since Reagan, and I had never heard anyone so directly challenge the problems I had with the Republican establishment. He wasn't playing along.

I could have lived with the other major Republican candidates, would certainly have voted for them in the general, but I don't think they would have won.

The man has changed politics in our party, and he has changed them in our country, both for the better.
