Who was on board with MAGA from the start? Be honest with yourself

Not from the start. I was more anti HRC than MAGA. Full blown MAGA now

I was Maga since day 1. Posted a lot of stuff on facebook and caught a lot of flak for it

I watched Trump on Piers Morgan last night.
I'm not a Donald "guy" , haven't watched his show, and am generally "-meh-" towards his schtik.
It's obvious he is running for POTUS.
I would classify his diagnosis as AMERICAN DECLINISM and his cure as ECONOMIC NATIONALISM.
A bit like Pat Buchanon, but without the "culture warrior" baggage.
I was really surprised how much I agreed with him.
He wants to play economic hardball with China, Opec & others.
He's hit a particular strain of POPULIST thought that is sweeping the American Zeitgeist.
And I really think his message could resonate at this EXACT moment in American History.
Thoughts from the Peanut Gallery ?

I was on board when I saw him and Melania riding down the escalator at Trump Tower.

Was a big Rubio guy in the beginning. Thinking back now I can’t believe I was so cuckish

Ihometiger was the first on this board.

I was not. I'm a big Ron Paul guy, so I was 100% behind Rand Paul as a candidate. After Rand dropped out, I was fortunate enough to attend a Ted Cruz rally in my town and get to meet him and speak with him. It really changed my opinion of Cruz and caused me to get behind him.

I saw, in Trump, what Tx Tiger still believes: that Trump was an agent of the establishment sent to hijack and destroy the anti-establishment movement. He was there to take all of the oxygen out of the room from insurgent candidates like Rand and Cruz, say stupid things to make conservatives look like the caricatures liberals describe them as (stupid, bigoted, arrogant, misogynist, etc), and then implode and disappear. However, the anti-establishment movement was so strong that the only candidates left were him and Cruz.

I simply did not believe Trump was genuine during the campaign. I was so disgusted by his words and style that I voted for Gary Johnson in the general election.

However, Trump has really surprised me (in a good way) since the election. He seems to really be earnestly delivering on his promises and watching him troll the media is just too much fun. I was not MAGA from the beginning, but I put on my coat long ago.

ETA: I still believe that both Rand Paul and Ted Cruz would make great presidents and even better SCOTUS judges.

I got my coat and seat on the train very early. I was working out of state during the primary in Louisiana and didn't vote. I was split between Trump and Cruz.

It became very obvious to me halfway through the primaries that Trump was gonna win, and I was all MAGA.

I was not and decided very late to vote for him because I did not want Hillary and Supreme Court. I have won bigly on those alone. All the other positives are fricking cake eating bonanza.

In from the start.
