Scott Jennings may be the smartest person on CNN, but he wasn’t always a Trump supporter.
During a recent appearance on the PBD podcast, Jennings explained that when Trump first appeared on the scene, he didn’t ‘get it.’ He says it became clear in time.
He also suggests that the fact that Trump’s opponents are so reflexively against anything he says or does, also pushed him to Trump.

Republican strategist Scott Jennings explained on “The PBD Podcast” Tuesday why he became a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump after previously not comprehending his appeal.
“The Daily Show” ran a segment posted to YouTube on Friday featuring Jennings criticizing Trump in the past before embracing the president. “The PBD Podcast” co-host Adam Sosnick mentioned the segment and asked Jennings what changed his opinion on Trump.
“Well, I’ve voted Republican my whole life. And I did vote for him three times. But like everybody else, I didn’t get it. I mean, I readily admit I did not get it.

The idea of common sense versus whatever it is she was selling.”
