I sat out the general election for a couple of reasons, but mostly because - yes - I could not stomach supporting a candidate who didn’t support my values.
You must have been devastated when President Trump removed the Birth Control Mandate in Obamacare a few days ago. No thanks to people like you of course.
I am quite sure that any of the 17 Republicans running last year would have done the same. Also quite sure that most of them were conservatives.
There was plenty of reason not to trust him given his long history of being on the left, including on many issues just before he announced for President - he was for amnesty just weeks before announcing - and had blasted Romney for being too tough on immigration and blamed Romney’s loss on it - as just one example. There were many other issues he did an seemingly all too convenient and instantaneous 180 degree turn on - I simply did not believe a word he was saying and so did many others. He’s proven us wrong on many fronts that this sudden conversion was, in fact, genuine - or, at least, he knows he made those promises to us and he is trying to keep most of them. The judges he is appointing are some of the finest jurists ever appointed by any President in history. That cannot be denied. If he and this dysfunctional Senate can get a substantial number of them confirmed that alone would make his presidency a success in my book. That’s why it is imperative we keep control of the Senate in 2018 if for no other reason - Dems would not even give them a hearing or vote.
