[Always A Marine]

Welcome aboard, thankfully I changed in January. It wasn't because I disliked Cruz, I just thought Trump was better.

My story is the same, except that I changed from Cruz to Trump in December when I came to believe that DT was the better choice.

Presently on display here at FreeRepublic is a conflict between human nature - which wants to boast that "I was right before you were so you suck!" - and common sense which understands the necessity to win new allies and welcomes them. The latter wins elections. Let's never forget that Paul, the greatest Christian who ever lived, persecuted believers before becoming one of them and eventually their leader. Or that Ronald Reagan was a Socialist and union activist before seeing the light of freedom and leading the free world.

In this election, I welcome all support that is wholehearted and sincere. Time will tell if Hewitt's newly proclaimed endorsement fits that bill, but I won't run him off unless and until he proves to be a fraud.

I am glad that Hewitt has begun to show some sanity again, but his strain of "conservatism" has shown itself to be untrustworthy at best. The act that any and all of those fools thought Trump was as bad as (or worse) than Hillary has earned my everlasting scorn.

I welcome any real support he and the other #nevertrumpers will give, but think he and his group (Rush included) did some major long term damage to the Trump candidacy.

That kind of damage can, and I believe will be overcome, but it was more than slightly disturbing to watch. I don't know what the answer is for people like HH, but I know I'll have a hard time trusting any of his opinions again.

Oops, act dropped the f. Should have been fact, not act.
