I was an early supporter of Paul and Cruz, but the posts on here informed me more about Trump and i find myself agreeing more and more with his run. I had also planned on staying home if Paul or Cruz isnt the candidate, and GD talked some sense in me.

Lolno. I sincerely doubt anyone has changed their mind at all.

I changed from Cruz to Trump

I did because of some dumb shit Trump said. But now I'm back

Let's expand the question to include print ads, TV commercials, robo calls, mailers.

I'm more likely to change my vote based on the snarkiness of posters in GD. Those guys are super influential.

I used to be a pretty solid libertarian, still mostly am, but ever since I joined i've become more and more conservative, if that counts.

I am still a solid Cruzzer in spite of GD's best efforts.

I successfully steered arfcom away from Chris Christie.

Without me, you'd all be trying to convince each other he wasn't that antigun .

I was a Paul man until he fizzled out, now I am for Cruz.

I'm still trying to nail down who I would actually vote for in the primary.

The debates and Arfcom have helped me narrow the field, but I'm still undecided among three of them.

Yes, I have. I used to believe the BS that we should always vote for the Republican candidate no matter what.

I don't believe that anymore. If the GOP somehow ends up with someone other than Cruz or Trump as the nominee, I'm staying home.

We know at least one poster has. It's a free guess as to why; we simply don't know.

I jumped ship from Rand Paul to Ted Cruz a good year ago.

Posted: 2/25/2016 7:22:20 PM EDT

[#19]

I have. A few months ago I thought Donald Trump could be good for the country. Now I won't vote for him in the primary or general.

No, but it helped me form my opinion that it doesn't matter who the GOP nominee is.

If people actually read up on the person they intend to vote for and have no major issues with that candidate, then nothing should sway them, short of the candidate doing something wrong afterwards or new info.

Nobody will sway my decision, although I'll admit the anti Trumps in gd have solidified my intent to vote for Trump.

I don't see how people can change their minds so much or be undecided late in the game, except for the fact that pollsters ask absolute tards for their opinion.

I changed my opinion of whether or not Cruz has a chance of being the nominee. Still voting for Trump either way out of revenge for the Thad Cochran stunt the GOPe pulled.

Lady that sits next to me has voted D her whole life until FBHO. She was a registered D that made donations.

There are probably dozens of ways that question could be posed using all sorts of variables, and arrive at the same answer:
Abortion
9 vs .45
.40
Chili
What belongs in a trash can
Religion
Shotguns
Marriage (of the gay type)

Those are just off the top of my head.

I'm going Cruz first and settle for Trump. Even the unknown is better than Hillary or the Socialist.

Trump saying "'screw political correctness" is a breath of fresh air and movement in the right direction.

One guy went from me "if I have to" list to "piss on him, I'll vote for Gary Johnson instead" based upon the behavior of his fan club in GD.

Yeah the Cruziers are pretty bad around here and have me refusing to vote for him.

No, it's just an excuse to argue and insult one another.

I'm sure reading here about Jeb! dropping out probably got a few people thinking about another candidate.

Nope

I voted for RMoney while barfcom voted for Obama.

Take that, dissident aggressors!

No. Trump 2016 I voted for my last Jack Ass Establishment Tool with Romney.

Yes. I'm voting Libertarian, only because staying away on election day is wrong.

Lots of people did, because almost nobody was pro Trump when he first got in.

People saying they changed to him for any other reason than riding the Trump train and wanting to be on a winning team are full of shit though.

I originally wasn't going to support Trump at all, but I saw enough Hillary and Sanders stuff to vote for anyone with an R in the general.

Trump is a great agitator...we should be grateful for that....

But of all the candidates Cruz is the closest to the real deal....but he's got some blemishes....at least he isn't rotten to the core.
