Now is not the time to harden their, or our, hearts in opposition. They will come around, and we ought to encourage that. Many of us were initially skeptical of Trump, what conservative wasn’t? I still don’t agree with everything he says or does, but I didn’t agree with everything Reagan said or did either. The bottom line is, I voted for him reluctantly as the lesser evil of the two available options, but he has won me over through his actions. Why was I so slow to come on board? A small but vocal, and often obnoxious segment of his supporters bear a great deal of the responsibility for pushing me, and many others, away. Remember Reagan’s words: “The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally – not a 20 percent traitor.” Live that, and bring those people around, don’t ostracize them. That is how we build the coalition necessary to retain power now that we’ve won it.

You signed up last November 2016. Trump spent his own money on a campaign that he worked tirelessly across this nation... That is a hallmark of a 'conservative'... How strange it was to hear a man speak past the PC bull of both parties. The above toadies believed the internet prank pulled on Wilson, and they all waited with baited breath for the 'dirty dossier' to get revealed...

The Bush name is forever tainted because they were exposed as being 'compassionate' conservatives for the left. All of the above have done nothing to break through the lawlessness of the Clintons and Obama... NONE of them took a stand in protecting and defending our Constitution.

I resent your needing to rag out what you view 'obnoxious segment of his supporters'. We do not need any shrinking violets, in the 'war' against the insane, lunatic, half baked left. The above are the laziest people on God's green earth and well past their expiration of value date.

I will NOT be forgiving these turds, NOT a one of them. Most especially those that claimed in front of God and all watching, they would support the nominee, and then made complete donkey buns out of themselves. This bunch did all they could to make the wicked witch of the west our 'queen'. In this election there was NO lesser of evil.

His supporters, who attack on a personal level, anyone who they view to be less than 100% aligned with Trump, do more to push away those who might be inclined to support Trump otherwise - just as the nutjobs of the left are pushing many who were skeptical of Trump to support him.

I know many conservatives who opposed Trump, who are now coming around. We ought to encourage that, not discourage it.
