While no one asked me, still I have to question what the point is of asking a supporter to find something to criticize Trump about?

About the same point the OP asks in terms of asking non-Trump supporters to be honest about Trump's accomplishments?

That's right.  There is the question of integrity from not being able to acknowledge the Trump positives.  How about the integrity of no being able to acknowledge the Trump negatives?  There's really no credibility for accusation of any NT when that question cannot be answered.

My son was knocking on my door when I posted last....I should have added this:

It's not that I'm not excited to see most of the NTs come to their senses....it's the half-dozen hard-core denizens that offer up lame excuses...."Somebody on the forum told be to get lost....my support for Donald Trump wasn't needed...so...eff them, etc.."

To come back and ask me to give an example where I criticized Trump...is sophomoric.

I am ecstatic with this election and what he's accomplished thus far.

Predicted this bull market too...   

Life is good!

So you failed this 'honest challenge' you posted because you cannot do what the author himself requests of NT. 

As the Author put it: 'Doesn’t your integrity compel you to be even-handed, or, perhaps, to acknowledge where, at times, you may have been wrong?'

I guess the request itself is sophomoric unless as is typical of cults of personality - it only applies in one direction.

   It is Good indeed, @DCPatriot much better than I expected it to be after Year 1 of Trump, credit given. 
   Though, I'll never forget there were better alternatives 19 months ago. I still don't trust him not to go back to his Liberal roots.

There, fixed that quote above...

Why @DCPatriot your hypocrisy and lack of intellectual honesty is truly astounding.

I’ve posted several comments giving Trump some credit...are you truly that much of Trump fanboy slob knobber that you can’t point us to one single comment you’ve made criticizing him?  If so, sir, you have lost ALL credibility with giving ANY never Trump any grief and all here should respond to you accordingly henceforth.

Come on pumpkin!  Man up and produce one criticism that youve posted over the last year.

   There have been like 4 or 5 Never articles in the last few days and this Never $hit is just the Trumpers trying to paste those of us non ticket holders into a derogatory pigeonhole. Trump is OUR President and as Americans we reserve the right to criticize him in our speech as we did ALL the others. 


    OK, what did you Trumpers do with @Cripplecreek?
