Back when we were getting ready for the 2016 election everyone was talking about a Bush-Clinton rematch. It was all the talk. i was thinking,oh my gosh, no. We suffered through McCain,Romney and Ryan. It sounded contrived too.
In the end we had more candidates. i was considering Ted Cruz. Then i was giving Dr Ben Carson a serious look. He was impressive.
Donald Trump jumped in. I had no clue who Trump was. A lot of people knew Trump from the Apprentice. i never watched the Apprentice but i heard about his 'you're fired' moniker. Who didn't?i could think of a lot of ppl in government who could stand to be fired. He caught my attention. He was no Jeb Bush. Thank God. In fact, he was no politician. i followed his rallies, i liked his attitude and eventually i started to take his campaign very seriously. This was a candidate to be reckoned with. DC needed a shake up and he was just the candidate to do it.
I'll be honest-i did not vote McCain in our primary. Gov Huckabee was a far better candidate. The best was Herman Cain. I now see him as a precursor to Donald Trump and i got behind him 100% in that primary. It wasn't Romney-Ryan that's for sure. Then they destroyed Mr. Cain. The Republicans could never stand behind anyone unless they were Mother Terese and our candidates didn't have the chutzpah of a Trump who wouldn't put up with that crap. God rest Herman's soul and give his family peace. i've always wondered if it wasn't Romney who started the viscious rumors about Cain-and i never settled whether Herman did what they accused him of. Didn't care-wish he had stayed in the race but he had his family to think about; understood that. i was borken hearted. Did everything i could for his campaign.
Here we are now and here i am 100% MAGA, not voting for anyone BUT Trump. I voted for him in 2016 and 2020; come hell or high water am voting for him in 2024.
The media was always biased. Now they're corrupt. The Republican party and the so called elite leaders of the conservative movement were always smug and self protective. They thought of conservatism as a little clubhouse and only the few [of their choosing] could have the password. Trump welcomed the forgotten men and women the 2 parties [uniparty] looked down on and we came to be known as MAGA.
I've got news for the candidates in the current primary; they're not winning without our vote. I think some of them get that and some are clueless. The ones trying to court our vote are trying to be MAGA without Trump and that isn't going to happen. If they REALLY supported Trump they'd suspend their campaigns and endorse Trump, especially now. Let's be real. They're running in the primary to take him out,right? They may not say it but it's exactly how it's done.
Frankly,the worst candidate is DeSantis because of all the candidtes he wouldn't be where he is were it not for Trump. We had good will towards the Governor and went so far as supported him for Trump's VP. We were even ready to get behind him in 2028. That's over. i wouldn't vote for Ron for anything let alone as our nominee in 24. It's Trump only here folks and if you're here i bet you're Trump only too. IF he deserved the vote in 2020 he deserves it in 24. He most certainly did. He was a great President. He doesn't have to prove it. He already did. For being my last minute consideration in 2016 he exceeded my expectations once he was in office.
Is he flawless? No,but we never expect that of any President do we?
You're either with us-may i say ultra MAGA-or you're on the other side.
