Trump is getting my father's vote in MD [View all]

My dad went from Fiorina to Carson to Cruz and now Trump....

The entire primary my parents have labeled him crazy, obnoxious, idiotic, a conman, and there's no way they'd vote for him. But now their tune has changed because they don't want Hillary or Bernie. It's obvious Fox News controls their political thoughts, my parents use all the right words to lambast Obama and say Hillary will continue his policies, blah blah blah. The funny part is, my parents use Democratic social services like SS Disability, Medicare, and my dad had food stamps growing up.

What I'm trying to say is, my parents, who used to vote D in the 90s, and were #NeverTrump are now voting for him because "It's only 4 years".

We cannot underestimate Trump.
