    It takes a real man to admit he was wrong on national television. Cheers to you from Canada sir!

    Great job, brother. We all have " I saw the light moments" in our life". When I saw Trump mock someone with a physical disorder, I realized how flawed Trump was. Unfit for office.

    I used to be a staunch Independent. I would say I was fiscally conservative, socially liberal. I believe in protecting individual rights, the environment, social justice, and workers rights. Since Trump, I am now registered Democrat. We need to vote in numbers too big to question so we save our democracy.

    It’s fascism or democracy - the founding fathers never imagined a political party leader would be anti-democracy
  • @judd442009
    "Texas Trey" may represent more Americans than MAGA realizes.
  • You can reject Hilary and her political views 100% - but you cannot deny, she exactly right about what we would get and DID get with trump.
  • @TorgerVedeler
    This seems like a guy I could break bread with, even when I disagree with him. You know, an American.
  • @jamesmartin9401
    I kind of wish people understood that all Hillary said was what anyone PAYING ATTENTION knew at least eight years earlier.

    I used to be a registered Republican. I am an independent now. I identify very much with what this man says. There are things that are much more important than policy - values, dignity, honor, leadership, defending US democracy. I am disgusted by Trump and what he stands for and by all the Republican politicians who have enabled him. I am not sure I will ever identify with the Republican Party again, and definitely not until Trump and his MAGA cronies are totally purged.

    Welcome back my friend. My father finally woke up as well about 6 months ago
  • @dayceem
    Candid, well-spoken, grounded - why can't a guy like this run for office?
  • @JG-fx8jm
    I'm a proud neverTrump republican. Military veteran with principles. There are far more of us than people know.
  • I love what your guest had to say Laura…I hope a lot more people wake up like Trey did
  • I will never understand how anyone thought the man who’s cheated on three wives was going to be a good honest president.
  • @user-ef7wn4mw3p
    Proof that there are Republican's capable of free thought and not intimidated enough to refuse to use it. A sign of hope.
  • @ejkk9513
    All of her comments about MAGA have aged incredibly well!
  • @Ann-dc5it
    Thank you Texas Trey - talk to your friends in Texas & help them wake up

    Here's your friendly reminder Texas Trey, a 3rd party vote is a vote for Trump, a vote for Trump is a vote for Putin.
