@Jazzhead The President won because the vast majority of folks who voted "R" did so because they WANTED Donald Trump as did every voter in the primaries. They all voted FOR, not against. The lesser of two evils you keep pounding on may have been YOUR reason for voting for him in the general election, but it is not the reason his base did so. (Hence, the word "base")
BTW, the President did win with his base (of Republicans, Democrats, Independents and first time voters) alone in 2016 --- as NTs gleefully remind/goad Trump supporters. And the President's base has expanded exponentially since 2016 so his reelection in 2020 will be even sweeter.
I didn't consider myself a Trump supporter. I am a Cruz supporter. I voted for Trump because of his promise to appoint conservative Supreme court justices and to STOP Hillary. I voted willingly for him.
Now, I will again vote for Trump because he has followed through on his SCOTUS promise, he has made some progress at the border, he has boosted the economy, he has helped with the VA issue, he's boosted our military, he has made alliances with Israel, he has brought back some long needed patriotism to this country, he has lowered the unemployment rate, he has exposed some of the corruption within our government, he has exposed the MSM for the biased entity that they are, he has made some good negotiations ... all in all he's done some good. He's moved this country in a much more positive direction than it was heading during the Bammy years.
IF you don't want to vote for Trump then stay home or vote third party that is certainly your choice. I choose to help re-elect someone who has been trying to take the country in a positive direction and like him or not, he IS what is standing between us and the socialist lunatics on the far left.
