I honestly can't remember who I voted for because I was well on my way to obliterating my memory cells from existence .... read into that what you will .... you're correct.
I didn't pay much attention to politics, though I voted, until '98 when I discovered FreeRepublic.
Clinton of '95 or 6 opened my curiosity, but I was waayyy busy working to try to learn anything.
I've held on to the R handle because it is convenient to keep it, but ....
The "Republicans" of the obama administration are nothing like what Republicanism I knew (as superficial as my knowledge may have been), and as far as I'm concerned .... it'll be a tough road to walk for the R's to regain any respect
D.Trump can easily run as an Independent and win, IMO, because what he says has nothing to do with ANY party .... it's all about America and THAT is what Americans .... (the greater majority of the electorate) .... are listening to.
Trump is far more influencial that Perot could ever hope to have been ... as good as HE was.
And he should run as an indy. A guy that hated Reagan really doesn’t need to assist the current GOP in destroying itself because he hurts traditional republicans/the base in the process.
Yes he is doing a fine job exposing the RINOS. But it is at a cost and we will have to pay that piper.
