Trump in 2016:

She shouldn't be allowed to run.
If she were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis.
In that situation we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial.
It would grind the government to a halt.

God damn. I HOPE you're wrong. As that would imply that roughly 48% of america is voting because of this refusal to admit to themselves that they were wrong.

Hell, I KNOW I'm wrong a lot. There's no reason to say "oh, maybe I shouldn't have done that." And then fix your mistakes. There's even times I'm right 100% through an event, and then contexts change, and you have to admit the way you did it was actually wrong for reasons that hadn't happened yet in that moment.

We used to LOVE trump in 2004. Long before he was a politician. We loved him because he was easy to laugh at, and immitate in a mocking manner. But, now I know that watching clips of him on tv, only gave him ratings, kept him with a weekly paycheck for doing nothing. I now know if he went bankrupt in the 2000s, he wouldn't have had the standing or money to run a campaign in 2016.

So, oops. I was wrong for that. Difference is, we loved him like a clown. These people today love him like a savior. Which I do not understand.
