Not so long ago I indicated I was a "never-Trumper". I thought then (and still think) the tactics of his campaign were unconscionable and destructive. It went beyond political "hardball" and veered into ridicule and character assassination. And I was not convinced his policy points, vague as they were, would be the best for the country compared to the other candidates. I had no reason to trust that his presidency would lean conservative.
Today, I still wince at every tweet and wish he would stop the outbursts. That does not mean I think he should be soft on those who have unfairly attacked him - only more articulate, specific and less personal.
But when it comes right down to it, in spite of a congress stocked with Republicans who once again have betrayed their own campaign promises on immigration, tax reform and health care, Trump has quietly done a number of things that any conservative should be cheering.
