It is SICKENING to have to watch people who claim to be on our side go through their ‘learning curve’ on Trump at the expense of the country - and that also includes people like Cruz and Levin.
Yep
When he ran for President, I was dismayed. My main thought was having another candidate that will say the right platitudes to gain the support of the base and "if" he is the nominee or "if" he won, then he would be another Bush, McCain, Romney. I was gladly wrong.
My other main concern was my only exposure to Trump was what I saw of him on television before he ran for President. I foolishly believed that while he may know real estate, he sounded bufoonish. I was gladly wrong again when he handily defeated 16 "established" politicians.
After winning the nomination, I was still not onboard until in early October 2016, I listened to a speech at one of his rallies. I say listened vice watched because that's what I did - I was lying on the bed while he spoke. The first 5 minutes or so of the speech was the red meat stuff. Slamming Hillary, slamming the Dems, slamming the media, praising and thanking the people that were there. Then he started listing what he wanted to do. He spoke specifics. I thought I never heard a candidate speak specifics, always platitudes. Then I found out he was doing 3-5 rallies A DAY while Hillary was doing 1 per week. From that moment on, I was a Trump supporter. My apologies for coming late to the party.
In 2020, I was abolutely convinced he would crush Biden. Than the cheat occurred and now I am not so sure it would not happen again. That worries me.
I try to tell people that say they do not like the way he speaks so they do not think he is "presidential." I try to use the analogy of what kind of plumber you want when all your drains are clogged. Do you want someone who will talk nice, not swear or curse yet unable to fix the problem or do you want your drains cleared and the crap removed. I would want a plumber that knows what he is doing? I have been burned more than once by contractors that come out saying and sounding like a Christian yet screws me in the end. The only thing that bothers me about Trump is he does not seem to be good in picking people for his cabinet or other positions. Being retired military, I would pick those who retired or forced to retire as O-5/6's. Good enough to make it that far but not to flag rank because they just don't fit in or have the political mojo.
Just my thougts on how and why I like President Trump.
Cruz is a professional politician. He is a globalist, or at least his wife is.
Levin has given me reason to doubt his honesty and scruples, when he misled his audience about the Rogers v. Bellei case in order to protect Cruz.
>> ‘learning curve’
Regrettably, apathy has taken root in my soul, and their are few that I now care about.
Forgive, brother. We have bigger fish to skin. (I know “fry” but we’re dealing with thick skinned Catfish bastards.)
