Ronald Reagan was a great president. He was a true conservative, not afraid to take an unpopular stand. He loved the American people.

Then there was a series of moderate Republicans running for president. True conservatives were unhappy, but the party told them to hold their noses and remain loyal. We did. The party assured us they were changing. They didn’t.

Then an amazing thing happened in 2016. A man ran on the Republican ticket who was not a politician. He was not politically correct, not afraid to take an unpopular stand. He said out loud what many average Americans were thinking. Donald Trump won the election. Finally, the Republican Party delivered.

From day one of his term, liberal lawmakers, the FBI, liberal judges and even RINOs (Republicans in name only) attacked him. It did not stop him. His enemies are still trying to destroy him. He made some mistakes in office, but all presidents do.

Trump has announced that he will run in 2024. I don’t know if he can win, but he was a great president. I believe he could drain the swamp some more.

But one thing is certain: I refuse to hold my nose and vote for a RINO presidential candidate. I am not an independent. An independent is a liberal embarrassed by his or her party’s policies. I am a conservative, fed up with moderate, socialist Republicans.
