I voted for Bush in 2000 but didn’t vote for a presidential candidate again until Trump in 2016. Once the neocons captured the Republican Party under Bush and had us invading Iraq and opening our own borders , I checked out. When Trump announced for president, calling for protection of our borders and an end to nation-building invasions abroad, I checked back in.
If McCain or Mitt had won, we never would have gotten Trump
