Always, there was no other candidate that could have won and endured what he has dealt with

I was for Cruz originally and Trump scared me. The guy seemed unhinged and unpredictable.
After his first week in office, I was a believer. He's one of the very few politicians that doesn't
deserve to be hanging from a lamp post.

Originally for Cruz . Trump showed the way . The Bushes outed themselves.  No more uniparty.  Here we are .

I’d still like to Make America Florida but Trump continues to have all the right enemies, so four (more) years of MAGA ahead for me.

Always on the Trump Train!!  Choo-Choo!!

Like!!

Don't forget democrats supported the war in the beginning too, they just turned and used it as a political weapon later. They are every bit as much pro war and these days more so.

I don't blindly follow Republicans, but there is zero reason anyone should support the democrat party in any form. It is a party of evil and tyranny.

If you want to vote libertarian, write in, or stay home whatever. But nobody with a brain should vote for a democrat.

I have some issues with how it was handled, but I do think there is enough doubt and circumstantial evidence combined with the blatant obvious disregard for election law in many states that denying the election was legit is appropriate in my opinion.

I was exactly the same.  It took me about a year to see what an amazing job he was doing during his first term.

After that, I was totally sold.

Yes , I was on team trump since he announced. Not because I thought he’d be great but because he was hilarious. Then he became great to me. But I’m also the guy who was watching  tv in a 7-11 on J6 laughing my ass off hoping that the protesters pulled off an 1812 lol

In 2016 I started out in favor of Rand Paul.  He got zero traction in the media and dropped out almost immediately.

I went to some "find your best-fitting candidate" website (yeah I know) and played 20 questions with it until it gave me my "match".  It was Trump.

After that, reading his positions, I was all in favor of him, especially on immigration and H-1B.  He was the ONLY candidate who talked about restricting H-1B visas to talented immigrants whose skills were actually needed, instead of being the flood-the-market-with-cheap-indentured-serf-labor scam that it has been under every other president.

The website was probably a complete fraud, and may have even been part of the Hillary campaign's "pied piper strategy" gaslighting -- remember the DNC leaks, when it turned out Hillary was so scared of Jeb! that her campaign instructed the media to push Trump, Cruz, and Carson as "the only electable Republicans"?  LOL! -- but that scam sure backfired on that bitch and got us a flawed but great president.

For 2024 I was initially hoping for DeSantis, since Trump had failed so badly during COVID, allowing Fauci to fuck over the entire country with his fucking stupid lockdowns and masks and social distancing and all the rest, but I'm still fine with Trump and glad he's going to be back.  I honestly believe the reason DeSantis got zero traction in his campaign was because the media was afraid of a repeat of their 2016 gaslighting backfire and so they intentionally refused to report on him.

I was skeptical at first. I honestly don't remember if I voted for him in the '16 primary or not. I've voted for him each time since, though.

Not really a huge fan, but I can respect plenty of what he's done. And I definitely voted for him.

The first year I could vote was 1999, and at that time, I had figured out myself that the Republican Party was, my party.

Even though my shit-head step-dad was a half decent guy, he flipped back and forth between parties, I saw it as weak, and he was voting for whoever would give him free shit.
In 1999 he said I’d never be able to afford my own home, I made it a fucking challenge and bought one solo at 21 years old, told him to fuck off.

I voted Republican every single election, my entire life, no matter what, I saw Democrats as weak losers that want free shit.
So yeah, I happily voted Trump, every chance I had.

All of this.

All in aince day one.

For me it was and is very simple.


Every professional politician hates him.  Every career bureaucrat hates him.  Every national media figure hates him.  Every liberal hates him.


That is the guy for me.....

Started with Cruz, hated Trump. As he got more popular I called a dear friend who had worked for him for 10 years.

She said he's the nicest, most generous and decent men she's ever met.

That a lot of what we see is manufactured persona to get attention.

Started watching him manipulate the media, and realized how smart he is in getting people to do something he can maneuver around.

Once I realized that, all in

I have never been a fan of Trump's style and bombast. And I sometimes wonder how to square his current image with his longtime support of the DNC in the past (lots of that may simply have been his being located in NYC where the democrats are the only game in town).

But when it comes down to who is the better choice for America, especially when compared to what the DNC is right now, there really is no choice. Trump's win this week may have been the last chance to get America back on the right track. Trump losing this week really would have been the worst thing that ever happened to America - possibly even worse than having had Hillary win in 2016.

As far as I can remember, DNC is a hard no for POTUS for me!

2016 - Trump
2020 - Trump
2024 - Trump

That Rogan interview helped humanize him quite a bit to me. I knew it was mostly theatrics, but when he admitted that he basically thought he could just walk in and let most of it be handled for him by insiders, and it wasn't at all, I felt kind of bad for him. In one of his old interviews when he was a young man, he said he never wanted to do politics because it was so mean, and he didn't want to be that kind of guy. In 2016, he put that persona on, did everything he thought he was supposed to do, and won, and figured that the good graces in high places would come back to him after the dust settled. He learned the hard way that they did actually hate him.
