Even though I had voted for every Republican presidential candidate since 1980, I didn’t vote for Donald Trump in 2016.
Many Republican nominees had been huge disappointments to me, and I wasn’t going to vote for yet another GOP candidate I thought would betray my trust. I couldn’t imagine Trump as a genuine conservative who would champion limited government, respect individual freedom and liberty, and protect the unborn — but was I ever wrong. Although I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, I would crawl over broken glass to vote for him in 2020.
In 2016, I was convinced Trump was just another New York liberal. On election night, however, I smiled.
Amen Brother! I've always been a Trump Supporter, because he doesn't talk like a politician! He says what's on his mind, and if you are too much of a snowflake to take it, well melt!

Share this short article with "doubters." It may help to convince someone that it's okay to vote for Trump! :)

All my life every candidate has either been a swamp creature or under the control of other swamp creatures. Reagan may have been an exception, but he's the only one. Worse if they get elected. Nixon was a crook, Ford was a running joke. Bush 41 outlawed more guns with one signature than any president in history. Bush 43 erased the bill of rights with his patriot act and setting up the intelligence community to be further weaponized. He had no constraints on spending whatsoever and used a plunger to ram us down the fiscal drain. Both Bushes continued the US policy of endless, pointless expensive wars that enrich only the defense industry.
Now we have president Trump, who is not easily fooled or bullied. The swamp cant stand having a good American at the helm. The one big disappointment is no indictments yet. Otherwise hes doing fine.

I repeat myself, but it’s worth reminding everyone, PDJT is a NEW YORKER.
For me, Southern raised, that explains his personality and “charm.”
Broken glass, hot coals, and snakes.

I don’t understand these Johnny Come Latelys - Trump was only half way down the escalator when I said “He’s my guy”.......

I thought the same thing that Trump would govern as a lib....I am happy I was wrong. I find it amazing that a man can tolerate so much & out work any politician in DC...for free!

I was pulling for Cruz in the primary and was somewhat disappointed when Trump won. I had nothing against him but Cruz had a solid conservative reputation and Trump was unknown to me and I had no idea of his agenda or his ability in the political arena. However the choice between him and the alternative was clear so I did vote for him and I have already voted for him again in this election. If Trump loses, our country is lost.

David, no matter what your doubts were, you had to know that almost anyone was better than The Beast. You should have held your nose and voted for Trump like my husband did. He still doesn’t like Trump personally but he LOVES what the president is doing.
I got on the Trump train when he said in an interview that he would bomb the shiite out of ISIS. And he did.

I believe there are millions, yes millions, just like this man. Can you imagine Biden winning with no enthusiasm beyond the media? Not even rabid leftists are showing up to his, can we call them rallies? Who's crawling over broken glass to vote for Biden and Kameleon? Who? Trump hatred doesn't seem to be enough.

I'm with #9, as usual. The writer did not vote for Trump in 2016, so he either didn't vote, voted Clinton (Really?), or voted 3rd party. You couldn't have kept me away from the polls to vote against Hellary!
As to #4's comment about the quality of some of the Pubbies recent nominees...same answer. I may not have voted 'For' many of the candidates, but I sure as He!! voted enthusiastically against McGovern, Carter (2), Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton (2), Gore, Kerry, Barry the Fraud (2), and the criminal Clinton. Not voting is the same as voting Dem.

I wasn't a Trump supporter either. I liked Cruz, but I voted for Trump. To have done otherwise, would have been like shooting one's self in the foot.

I had the same concerns about Trump's conservatism but cannot understand how someone could withhold a vote from a Republican candidate who might not be everything they might wish and indirectly support Crooked Hillary and an extension of the corrupt BO administration.
It's great that Sound got woke. It's unfathomable how Never Trumpers who claim to be conservative could hate Trump so much and support Biden. The reality is, they never really were conservatives. They were Republican Deep Staters, dominating the "little people".

I agree with the 'crawl over broken glass', but Trump convinced me during the campaign, and I did vote for him. Other than that, I'm right there with the author. I hope that there are million and millions more of us.

Trump was unproven at the time and I was a bit uncertain about casting my vote for him but he weathered the storm to win the nomination. There was no way I wasn't going to vote and the option to vote for Clinton wasn't going to be.
When someone admits they didn't vote for Trump in 2016 did they cast a vote for Clinton? Trump had my vote when he was nominated and I just voted again for him yesterday standing in line with a hurting knee replacement and sore back I physically voted for him again.

I was only vaguely aware who Trump was, some NYC real estate guy, in 2015. I had heard of "The Apprentice", via a few TV commercials, but never watched it, and had no idea that Trump was on it. I started from darned near zero when he announced his candidacy.
I listened to what he said, initially thinking that he was probably way out there like the hedge fund environut, Tom Steyer. But as I listened to WHAT Trump said, and I was really intrigued. But I read that he had been a Democrat for most of his life, so that put me way off. But the more I saw him speak at his rallies, with strong words for saving the country, closing the border and a clear, sensible command of the issues, I was impressed.
My guy at that point was Ted Cruz, and I voted for Cruz in the primary, which Cruz won in Kansas. But soon, Cruz faded and Trump was showing himself to be the real deal.
I got on board the Trump Train and never looked back.
It was the right thing to do, and Trump has proven to be pretty much the best president of my lifetime, even with all the horror show antics from the insane Dems slowing him down.
There is nothing that will stop me from voting in person for this President.

Personal perspective ... in 2016 I was not yet a citizen. I was actually happy that I couldn't vote. My choices were Hillary!!! the most corrupt woman on planet Earth since Imelda Marcos (google it mills) or Trump because Paris Hilton had something better to do.
I am now a citizen and will vote in person for Donald Trump and on down the line with a few exceptions.
He keeps his campaign promises as best he can in spite of the yapping dog and biting dog) Democrats.
Like the author I will ignore the broken glass (media reporting?) and n NOT crawl but WALK PROUDLY to my polling station and God help any Antifa Cute Ninja who gets in my way.

Paging Jonah Goldberg, Rich Lowry, and every other "Never Trump" from 2016: If you're still in public life selling your conservatism for a living, it's long past time to declare yourselves.
We already know Kristol, Boot, and Will are forever "Never Trump". And Jennifer Rubin, Nicole Wallace, and the rest of the "never were's" were working against real conservatism long before Trump came on the scene.
But now's your chance: At this point, I'll take any votes and voices I can get for President Trump. No apologies necessary at this point. Just get off your well-cushioned Beltway Butts, get on any outlet that will still have you at this point, and simply explain that you oppose electing a literally-demented Democrat so that he can die in office and hand our country over to a radical Left, riot-cheerleading racist. This is all I ask of you at this point; that's all you have to do.
Now do it.

I knew Trump was our man when he told Hillary on national television during one of the debates that her husband was scum.
