How many of you who didn't really care for Trump but held your nose and voted for him anyway are now seeing him in a more favorable light?
How many are seeing him less favorably?
And what has changed or solidified your opinion?
I'd have to say that I didn't exactly hold my nose - but I was never so much FOR him as I would have voted for Hitler over Hillary.
Even the decaying corpse of Hitler. I cannot think of a public figure I have ever detested as much as her, and that includes
people like Ted Kennedy.
That said - I grew to like some of what he said, even if I thought he was your typical loud-mouthed braggart New Yorker,
who claimed a lot more genius than he was likely to have. Moreover, in 1980 I didn't care much for Reagan, and it probably
took about six years to warm up to him. So I've been wrong before.
I never expected him to "act Presidential". I voted for him because I believed he could deliver what he promised.
Which - BTW - had I believed that Obama could deliver a lot of the things he sort of promised - I might have voted for him.
For instance, he in 2008 claimed to be for an expansion of nuclear power - great - but hinged it on Yucca Mountain.
Translation - not for it at all. Stuff like that led me to believe he's not going to do anything outside the liberal boilerplate.
You know some of the things I liked about Reagan? He told the air traffic controllers they could go pound sand. He scared
the sh*t out of the Russians. He tactfully told the left they were full of crap, and managed to get them to laugh about it.
I was in college then - none of the faculty liked him, and the campus was full of how "dangerous" he was. When a recession
happened in his first term, I was called an idiot for believing he had any idea what he was doing.
So - I've also been here before.
