I did not vote for Trump in 2016. I've always voted Republican, even had the misfortune of having to vote Romney in 2012. In 2016 I thought Trump would never get the nomination, I voted for Cruz in my state's primary. I was devastated when Trump won the nomination. My issue with him was that he was a reality TV star and would make a mockery of our highest office. I was torn, I would never vote for a Democrat but for the first time in my life, I considered it. If Hillary wasn't such a crooked bitch, I might have done it. I knew Trump would win my state, so I ended up writing in Cruz for the election. I couldn't bring myself to vote for who I thought was a joke at the time. Even though I have always been a Republican and have voted in every election since 2008, my red-pill moment was the Kavanaugh confirmation. That's when I first saw what the democratic party was about, they're an evil organization that will do anything for power. It disgusted me... what they put that man through. Ever since, I have followed politics in much greater detail. I realized what Trump was about, he's not a joke, he's the greatest President we've ever had and I mean that with great sincerity. Pedes, I have realized my mistake in 2016. I will not make that mistake in 2020. I will crawl through broken glass to cast my vote for Trump, I've told everyone who will listen to vote for Trump. Trump will win. Just wanted to get this off my chest. Trump2020

dozens? i think it's closer to tens of thousands, if not a couple hundred thousand. i was on the trump train from the beginning but i wasn't a republican until the judge kav hearings. that was the ultimate "can't possibly be a fence sitter in any way" moment.
the real lesson of your post is that we can't afford to be the stereotypical "principled conservatives" of old. there is going to be no quarter from the dems/radical left. so why nitpick on a stance on policy x or vague character question b?
politics is about winning and the dems know that inherently. you have a chance to vote for a winner for the first time on nov 3rd.
