Feeling about Trump on 6/16/15

[History505]

Explain why you thought so.

[Figueira]

No, I didn't pay much attention to him and I didn't get why anyone cares.

[AGA]

I thought that he would be fun to watch.

[Devout Centrist]

I thought he'd lose the nomination until the first Republican Debate.

Regardless, I thought he'd lose. Oh well.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I know the point where I first realized he was really dangerous and would likely be the Republican nominee was when they had that big rally in Alabama and some idiot in the front kept audibly yelling "white power" over and over again.  No one seemed to bat an eye and that was very troubling.

In June and really all of summer in 2015 I was hyper-dismissive of him. I made a bet with friends that Rubio would win the GOP nomination and the election. When his lead didn't falter by about December, I began treating him as a serious front-runner, though not without a healthy amount of denial about the whole thing. Come his nomination, I had a gut feeling he would win, no matter how high Hillary was in the polls. He had beat the odds at every occasion up to that point, so why couldn't he do it again?

I didn't really care about politics at the time, but I was dismissive of him for a while...

[jaichind]

No.  Was certain he was a joke candidate destined for an early washout.  I have friends that have done business with him and all of them had negative stories to tell about him to me lasting over a couple decades.  I was very negative on him as a person and thought that he was just a crooked businessman/clown.

[Meclazine for Israel]

I certainly did not foresee what eventuated.

I just wanted him to ruffle some feathers on Washington DC.

Boy oh boy.

[PresidentSamTilden]

I wasn't all that into politics at the time, but I thought he had a shot to do well in the republican primaries after his speech. I figured he was an angry dude, people in general are upset in the US, and I wanted to be a contrarian to my liberal family dismissing him lol.

Not in my wildest dreams did I think we would be here, though.
