Am I expected to forget everything I've found out about all the candidates once one is selected? I don't think I can do that. How do others feel about this?

This is even more of an issue for me now than when so many Republicans were in the presidential field and I first asked for the opinions of others on this forum. I trust and believe what fellow Republicans said about each other. Why not? I don't believe they were lying. Or were they??? If they WERE lying, what does this say about themselves?
I feel this way about many elections in recent years. I'm an old lady, and though I'm not registered in the party, my identification with the party goes back to President Eisenhower who I saw and still see as a total gentleman. Maybe my values are behind the times. Or maybe the times have changed for the worst as far as values are concerned. I will continue to live by my standards and therefore choose to believe what I was forced to listen to during the race for the nomination!
