My usual motivation for posting is that I see a post that contains incorrect or misleading information, and I am moved to respond.

That was the case here where the OP posted a link to the New York Times containing the sentence, "It is our view not only that the Russian government was running some sort of intelligence operation involving the Trump campaign, but also that it is impossible to rule out the possibility of collusion between the two."

Now that is really (not) profound, since everyone knows that it is impossible to prove a negative.

Just to clarify my position a bit. From the beginning I was a supporter of Ted Cruz. A detailed search of various social media would find my statement that if I could have waved a magic wand and made him President, I would have done so. I voted for him in our primary.

But, incredibly, Trump became the Republican candidate and, faced with the alternative of Hillary Clinton, I voted for Trump.

Beyond that action I have taken no action to endorse or affirm his actions other than to do so for specific policy positions that he has taken, such as:

1. Enforce the Immigration Laws, particularly those that Obama would not enforce.

2. Target illegal immigrants involved in criminal acts for immediate deportation, especially members of the gang MS-13.

3. Demonstrate affirmative support for our Police Agencies, by word and deed.

4. Affirm a new and unshakable relationship with Israel, including providing missile defense facilities.

5. Negate several of Obama's Executive Orders which were hamstringing our move towards energy independence.

You get the idea.

Incidentally, it is not "word games" when I speak or write with precision. I strive to say what I mean and mean what I say. I have little patience with people who express themselves incorrectly and then say, "Oh, you know what I meant."

I also strive to never demean or insult others, and I avoid calling anyone by denigrating names. If I wouldn't say something to your face, I won't say it in writing.
