Zell Miller was the type of Democrat that I would gladly support. Seriously, if the party nominated a pro-life candidate who is strong on border security, I’d consider it in spite of advocacy for big government.
I would never hesitate to vote for a Democrat - TO BE PUBLICLY HANGED!
I would be tempted to vote for James Trafficant, but I probably wouldn’t.
That is somewhat inaccurate. The Republican Party was THE tariff Party until the gloBULLists took it over in the mid 20th century. I stopped reading at that pint.
I am ashamed to admit this, but my first ever vote as a dumb kid was for George McGovern in ‘72. I never repeated that mistake, though I did vote for Arlen Spectre (not a typo), which is the same thing as voting for a ‘Rat.
From 1972 to 1988, I was totally apolitical, and didn’t vote at all.
I am proud to have voted for Perot twice as a protest. Like millions of others, the excitement of the Perot phenomenon brought me out of my apathy. Perot, it turns out, was the prototype for the Trump movement.
Both major party candidates sucked in 1992. The notion that Perot put Clinton in the White House is BS spread by people who can’t accept the fact that GHWB was a bad, bad choice (and Reagan’s biggest mistake), IMHO.
I voted for W twice because Algore and Kerry are both repulsive.
I voted for Ron Paul in the 2008 primary (he was the only one left other than no-name at that point), and Palin in the general. I voted for Romney because he wasn’t Obama.
I was an early supporter of Cruz in 2016, but that support evaporated after Iowa. Though I had some misgivings about Trump early on, it became increasingly clear over time that he was the only one on the R side who had a chance to beat The Wicked Witch of Chappaqua. It is now totally obvious that he was the right man for the job at that point in history, and ‘till the day I die, I will never regret that vote.
Today, if I can’t stand the Republican, I will consider the third party alternatives, if any. I will never vote for any DemocRat.
Sure.
I would unhesitatingly vote for a Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Private Property, Pro-Free Enterprise, Pro-Death Penalty, Pro-Limited Government, Pro-Fair Tax Democrat over a liberal swamp dwelling RINO any day.
But I’m more likely to find a unicorn than I am to find that Democrat.
And everybody knows there no such thing As Unicorns.
As far as I can see the democrats were always in favor of immigration and pandered for the votes of new citizens. The exception being their broad support for the Chinese exclusion act.
Swing voters traditionally are not politically intelligent and when the economy is bad they vote for the party out of power, simple as that.
Only a schizophrenic or idiot would split his ticket today. I probably have more respect for a committed commie than some slack-jawed fence sitter.
