POTUS' group detected a " wave" beneath the surface. He knew he had at minimum 25% of the Republicans in a large field Red pilled and ready. Birthers. 2 candidates were already not eligible Cruz-Jindall. It was masterful math what POTUS knew. i watched him from afar. POTUS won by a large margin in those States against Hillary. I can't say your theory is true or not. But it makes sense.
Way back years ago I recall Col. Terry Lakin and Capt. Pamela Barnett. His court martial. Back in those days I wondered if there were any just souls left who cared about our fellow Americans. Then of course I thought about my family. Most of my life someone in my family has been deployed. Brother,(Desert Storm) Cousin. Killed in action in Vietnam Nam…Nephews, Iraq, Afghanistan. Almost all Marines and my nephew– Army. Oh and the youngest nephew not deployed was Navy. So every day I thank God for General(s) Kelly and Mattis and Dunsford. I'm an old woman now Anons. I know you don't like to know that. Boomerfag? Maybe that's better. But each day I pray for this country. I've done my share. I'll carry one accomplishment to my grave. Sometimes I think Q knows. I do. But then logic and reason override such meanderings. But let me tell you Anons. With God All things are possible. Never doubt it. Fight for the Good. Love one Another.
