Game changer! Chachi endorses Trump

Hollywood Reporter

Telling Fox News' Judge Jeanine Pirro that Trump "speaks like I speak," Baio said that he is "fed up" with Republicans and now considers himself a conservative independent, but values Trump's forthrightness.

"It's very simple, because when he speaks I understand him," Baio told Pirro. "He speaks like I speak, he communicates with people very well. I want him, as any one person can do, to go into Washington and blow it up."

"They're going to attack whomever the Republican nominee is," he said, "and we need somebody to relentlessly, relentlessly attack Hillary. It's the only way we're going to win. I'm trying to be a classy guy, but to win elections nowadays, the Democrats and liberals attack viciously."

This is a change in his presidential endorsement, as Baio had previously come out as endorsing Scott Walker last spring.

It still stuns me when anyone gets bamboozled by the double talk and empty promises from Trump, and aren't immediately horrified by the disgusting hate-mongering he does.

I've never before thought of being a conservative as a moral flaw... only an error in judgment. But anyone taken in by this big orange lying carnival barker is either massively stupid or willingly blind or a straight up bigot themselves.
