Don’t equate party to political stance. Just like the GOP, it depends upon the democrat. Just because he/she may be a democrat, doesn’t mean he/she is a liberal with socialist ideas. Need to be realistic here. I don’t vote for a party. I vote for an ideology. If there are democrats in congress that are conservative, they get my support. We have liberals in the GOP that are not going to get my support. And I will argue with them if they want it. It’s a two way street.

I agree. Lots of Rhinos out there and a few - emphasis on the few - conservative Dems in places like W. Virginia. I look at how a politician views the Constitution and then I look to see how they bear fruit cause a lot of politicians are liars.
FWIW, I stopped voting for the Democrat Party years ago (the Clinton creeps cemented the deal) and vote independently. I was a walk-away before #walkaway became cool.
After I registered as a Republican for the primaries, I came to suspect that the Bushes, McCain and Romney were NWO sell-outs, but kept quiet around my conservative friends. The lesser of 2 evils is a hard pill to swallow. I admit I swallowed too many times and it ticks me off. Time has proven my instincts correct about the Bush Family and McCain. As for Romney, he’s acting like a Never-Trumper jerk and I don’t trust him.
A lot has transpired since then.
President Trump is my POTUS even though I wasn’t sure of him 2 years ago. I am sure of him now. He is awesome and I love how he refuses to give an inch to his enemies. MAGA!
I registered as a Republican the first time I voted (Ronald Reagan first term) and have stayed with the GOP since...
How much do I loathe HRC?
I changed my affiliation to Democrat just to vote against her in the primaries - of course, I vote differently in the general election.
I have supported DJT since the day he announced his candidacy
