As someone who started in political communications by fighting the Clintons way back in 1992, I'll be forever grateful for every single person who voted for Donald Trump in 2016. It matters not to me whether they were early adapting, pedal to the metal Trumpers -- or lukewarm reluctant Trumpers -- or even late-converting Never Trumpers. Each vote counted as one, and Trump needed almost all of them to once and for all rid us of the Clinton machine.
Amen and pass the plate!
Moreover, the future of the Supreme Court, not to mention the nation, is radically more optimistic today, as are the prospects of securing the border, and of ridding us of the cancer of ObamaCare. This is all very good.
For the record, I fit into category B in the scenario above, not joining the Never Trump movement (though I was tempted twice), while never claiming that Trump could not win. I always maintained that Hillary Clinton was capable of losing to anyone, often stating that the IBD/TIPP poll was worth watching, and that the LA Times Daybreak poll's new paradigm was very interesting as well.
And let's be honest, Hillary Clinton losing is precisely what happened, and the numbers back this up. While some were predicting this big tidal wave of 70 million plus Trump supporters, swelling total turnout to something like 140 million voters, that is not at all what took place. Not even close.
So before I get to some effusive praise of Trump, consider this:

C. Edmund Wright is the epitome of ‘do you know who I am’. He has three houses in case no one knows.. He said so...
Until I changed my mind and told him that Trump was a better candidate than Cruz.
I think he may have changed his mind later in the game than most anyone, but what hubris to pat himself and others on the back that came to this realization with one week or less to go.....

Stupids like us lack vision and insight, Lakeshark.
And we’ll never be wright about anything.
Yep, unlike Cruz, Trump can never win.......
amiwright or amiwright?
Yep. I suspect, though, that there’s little need for Cruz articles in the near term.
More wright than wrong
I kept telling friends and random strangers I thought he was really going to pull it off. Most of them were skeptical.
I did the same. Saw the demoralization campaign would continue until polls closed, so I was watching some old movie and fell asleep. Didn’t wake up til 1230 and got to see bofh consternation and phony giddiness in the anti-trumpers. Definitely a fun evening after that.
Mark Levin read from C.’s piece on the show today.

Motivating people to actually go out and vote is probably the toughest thing a campaign must do. I would suggest that both campaigns turned off a lot of people and a lot of people simply stayed home—figuring their vote wasn’t needed just to see Hillary win it.
But, as you point out, all the enthusiasm was with Trump and Hillary couldn’t generate any. In that scenario, even low turnout will be enough to secure the win.
In Lancaster County, a traditionally stalwart Republican County (and where I live),
whereabouts in Lancaster County...?
Geez, I wish I'd witnessed that. Must've been glorious. C. Edmund was always such a prick.
We're discussing him on a current thread, and someone linked this post from 2016.
