I stumbled when Obama took the black mans side when he didn't even have the facts.

I stumbled so hard that I fell off of the democrat wagon and had nowhere to go, no one to even believe. I just didn't like the republican party and I still don't like the rhinos. I'm ashamed of Lamar Alexander ( he represents me) or I thought he did.
Then Trump said he was running. I couldn't stand Trump from his TV show where he fired people. But I started listening to his speeches. He promised he would back EVERY detail of what I wanted in a president. Not only that, but there was NO WAY UNDER THE SUN I could EVER vote for Hillary. Justify it by any means you choose, there are WAY too many people that were associated with her and Bill that turned up dead, lots of them under unbelievable circumstances. ( Committing suicide by shooting yourself in the BACK of the head). Then Donald and Hillary debated and Brian Holt gave the answers to Hillary! And she didn't say a word about it. You guys call Trump a liar. He's a salesman and they are allowed to exaggerate to get a sale. But as for out and out lying, Hillary IS the top dog. She should have said "Let's arrange to do this debate another day, because I've just been given the answers, and If I can't beat Trump legally and fairly, then I don't deserve the office."
Let's jump forward to today. Pelosi, Shumer, Obama, Warren...ALL the democrats that are SOOO against an immoral wall today were all for it when Obama was POTUS and before when he was a rep.. The ONLY difference now is that a republican is POTUS and of all people, it's Trump. They HATE him so bad that they would rather do our country harm than go along with anything Trump. So, you blame the shutdown on Trump...yeah, I know he said he owned it, but it ain't him that did it. HE was more than willing to negotiate but Pelosi and Shumer were NOT WILLING, and they bear the blame for the shutdown. Then Trump asked Pelosi TO HER FACE, if he reopened the government for 3 weeks, would she be willing to negotiate and she said, flatly, "No". Trump said Bye Bye. What else could he do, say "Pretty please"
You people on the left are too blind with hate to see that Trump has done a great job. When Obama was POTUS, you blamed the s-l-o-w recovery on Bush, and when it exploded under Trump, you said it was Obama that handed him a great economy. Obama was a blithering idiot when his teleprompter went down. He sounded like an imbecile. There has always been some racial unrest, but since Obama took office, the black/white/ melting pot has boiled over. There is more racial unrest right now that anytime I can remember. ( I guess I'm not THAT old) Trump didn't do all of that. The media has a major role in all things Trump being misrepresented, taken out of context, edited to suit the liberal's bias, and flat out lied about.
And the lefts almost total position is to let illegal aliens into our country unvetted, give them benefits and let them stay. We KNOW that some are hardened criminals, rapists, muderer's, drug mules, human traffickers, and horrible gang members. It's unbelievable and unjustifiable. And I'll tell you this about Islam, it's the only "religion" I know of that beheads members of other religions and for no other reason that they don't practice Islam.
So, to end this tirade, Trump has picked me up and put me firmly in his political family and he is protecting these essential (to me) rights, in order of importance;
!. My right to choose and to practice my religion. This is a constitutional right, whereas there are NO constitutional amendments to protect the rights of gay couples OVER that of religious freedom. MY right is under attack from the left.
2. Our precious constitution. The forefathers were almost psychic when they wrote this document. When you belittle it, or say it's outdated, you are speaking against the ONE document that guarantees your rights as a citizen and a human being.
3. Our immigration system is broken. There is an incredible number of illegal aliens living in our country and many thousands more are headed this way from Central and South America. This MUST BE FIXED.
4. Our economy must be bravely dwelt with in order to burst out of the slowest recovery ever and Trump has done just that.
5. Our reputation among the other world nations. We were a joke for a while, but Trump has restored at least some of the respect ( or fear...whichever term you want to use) for the United States. We were warned by all the superpowers of the world but none of them did squat.
6. Our trade agreements with other nations. We feed half of the world and we have to have a major trade deficit??? Trump is fixing that as we speak.
7. Ridiculous pacts like NAFTA. NAFTA is what brought on the first Mexican wave of illegals to our country.
Trump is pulling us out of these wop-sided pacts.
8. Although he ( and I) believe abortion is wrong and immoral, Trump has not done anything against the laws that protect those who want to kill their babies. He also has not backed us out of rights for gay people. He is not racial. He is not anti Semitic, he is not anti LGBT, he only wants TS's out of the military because of medical treatment costs, he is most willing to be bi partisan in his politics.
I say, what more could anybody want in a POTUS?
So, while I never claimed to be a democrat OR a republican, I leaned heavily to the democratic side, but now I denounce them as radical bigots, hate mongers, liars, and backers of every single CRAZY political idea that can be contrived. Unless they back Trump, I don't like republicans either.
TRUMP IS THE MAN.
I felt the same way about both Bush's at the time.... (

So much to cover.
And you did.
Thanks for taking the time.
