I grew up in a household that always voted Democrat..There was not a viable Republican party in Texas then..I voted for Ike for his second term and had many discussions with my parents about joining me..My Mother voted for Reagan when she was 80..Patience paid off..LOL..
I have never voted third party...always Republican.
I completely understand.
Same here. Sometimes it is easier than other times. But I save my vitriol for the Primaries...
