Last fall when the presidential candidates talk starting heating up, I paid close attention to both parties potential candidates by seeing who I thought had a good chance to be president. As time flew by last fall it became clear in my opinion as to which party and candidate I was going to support. Throughout the rest of my senior year, I decided to keep my political affiliation opinions to myself because I wanted to wait till college to keep everything secret. I had been leaning republican for quite some time but didn’t want to say anything because senior year of high school just wasn't the right place and time to announce.

First off, I’m not a massive Trump supporter, but I supported him because I felt like he was the best person to be in office and I liked a lot of his tax plans as well as his business abilities. When I joined the Young Republican Club at CNU, I joined because I felt like it was time for a change in leadership for all big things in Washington as well as I really liked the local republican congress people in Scott Taylor and Barbara Comstock and I didn’t want another democrat in office. Yes I know Trump has made unacceptable and unforgivable mistakes, so has Clinton. There will never be a perfect presidential candidate, just because I wanted a republican such as him in office does not define me as a person. In addition, arguing over the election and bashing Trump and Republican supporters on Twitter is absolutely ridiculous because arguing on social media isn't going to solve anything. Everyones entitled to their own personal and political opinions and I completely respect that. I have absolutely no disrespect for Clinton’s campaign at all, I applaud her for a world changing campaign. The biggest thing i’ve taken away from this election is God will always be good no matter who was elected to be in office or no matter who the president that is currently in office.

On a 1-10 scale of being a massive Trump supporter I'd say I was a 4. In terms of Republican Party Supporter I'm a 10. All in all, I'm looking forward to seeing what Trump can accomplish in office and I believe he deserves a chance at it before any criticism arises.
