I thought Cruz would win. Then it came time for the La. GOP primary and my wife told me she was voting for Trump and that all the women at work (nurses and techs) were also going to vote for Trump.
I thought 'Hmmm, if Trump gets the female vote he's gonna win.'

Jeb might have been smart and capable but he had a terrible stage presence and it cost him. He should have taken a year of theatre ?? and gained some skills...

I always thought the Please Clap situation was good stage presence and good situation presence it just made for great Gifs and Memes. And today Gifs and Memes are what counts.

I was all in for Cruz.

Once I saw that Ted couldn't handle Trump I began to realize that Trump was unstoppable. Mrs Cane was Pro_Trump from day 1

Strictly analyzing stage presence, Jeb Bush reminded me of everything that seemed fake, irritating and as easily pushed around as Jimmy Carter. Almost like having Mr. Rogers as a candidate.

Compared to him Trump was as hilarious and ready to deal with the real world as Eddie Murphy.

I knew Trump was going to win after the first debates. He owned the stage and had the best policy views

I honestly thought it would be Jeb, who would eventually lose to Killary. Then I thought it would be Ted but I was hoping Trump would beat him out.

I never expected Trump over Clinton until after Florida on election night. Then I was like "Oh holy shite!' and I gleefully watched CNN and MSNBC for the melts.
