I happened to stumble across Glenn Beck’s radio program just as he was getting to this part: [1]
“I am feeling so humbled this week. I feel truly horrible for the things I said and believed in 2016 about @realDonaldTrump.
I believed the worst politically, which he proved me wrong at almost every turn. In the most dramatic cases (life/Israel/China/authoritarian).”
It’s true. And the thing is, I’m there, as well.
Trump was never my guy. As of 4 years ago I greatly preferred that Ted Cruz would be the nominee and the eventual winner of the general election. I am still convinced Cruz would have been a good choice.
That said however, I must admit to being pleasantly surprised at how well Trump has done since taking office. The man has succeeded in moving the conservative football farther forward than anybody since Reagan… who, it should be noted, wasn’t supported by the establishment GOP, either.
I have observed, but not said much about, the mind changing process that Glenn describes occurring in a lot of people. and I can’t imagine that that’s not going to be reflected in November.
