Here's where I'm at. I didn't suport Pres. the Donald, I didn't trust him and I still don't but you know what, he's is currently the only thing standing between us and the liberals totally destroying the country. We have know choice but to go with it and keep our eyes on what is important and what is not.
It would be helpful if certain people would quit acting like everything he does is just great and, on the other side, everything he does is just terrible. I think with this Presidency we are all going to have to have a strong sense of humor and not take everything he does or says so seriously. We need to come together so we can not only hold his feet to the fire but the republican congress. If we don't we are going to lose it all.
All bets are off to those who continue to call Sen Cruz nasty names. You deserve what you get.
@beandog I voted my conscience in November; I don't regret it a bit, and, in fact, would do it again. Now that Trump is in the White House, I intend to give him credit for the good things he does, and to bust him on the bad. As I see it, furthering the cause of conservatism is the issue, not propping up a politician's ego.
The morning after the election, I pinged the Trump supporters on the forum, congratulated them, and admitted I was completely wrong about Donald's chances of winning. Two were gracious enough to respond.
I haven't changed my opinion of Trump and I won't pretend that I have; it's been formed over years. But I don't see the point of dragging that into every conversation. Right now it feels like I'm at a tennis match---Trump does something that sounds good (look over here) and then he does or says something boneheaded (look over there) and back again. I expect the next four years are going to be like that. Regardless, I've made my personal judgment about Trump the man, but I'll judge his presidency based on what he does. But if anyone expects me to get on his "train", might as well give that up. When he deserves it, my criticism will be unsparing, whether it's the first week of his presidency or the last.
But I'm also not going to marinate in bitterness and anger for the next few years because he won. Who would that hurt? No one, except for me, and it
would do that. I have a life to live...we all do. And I'm not going to spend mine trying to nurse a sense of rage (which isn't there in the first place) over who sits in the White House. The election went the way it went. Conservatives still know what they stand for.
