Mickey, I do not fit the description of any of the groups that you mention cobbling together. I would really like to support either party that was able to be fiscally responsible and conservative. However, every time the republicans have a chance to be fiscally responsible, they go to trickle down economics and the end result has never been good for this country. As a younger voter I tended to vote republican just as often as democratic. Now in my 60's I normally hold my nose and vote straight democrat. Not because I support all of the various planks that represent the core beliefs of their party but because I abhor the leadership and good ole boy network that has further taken a stranglehold of the republican party since I first started voting more than 40 years ago. I abhor all of the self serving conservatards that have shaped their direction such as Gingrich, Cheney, both the Bushes, and more recently Ryan, McConnell and Trump.

When Trump first began running for president I briefly considered voting for him. It did not take me long to see what a loud mouth, narcissistic asshole he was. All of the lies and tweets and disparaging remarks towards others only made it worse. Once he took office it quickly became evident that he was only interested in being president of and reflecting the beliefs of the 30 percent core base that put him there and could care less about the other 70 percent. His loyalties to Putin and the Korean dictator, and desire to destroy our relationships with our allies overseas has further eroded what little confidence I may have had in him.

And then layered on top of that is lies on top of lies on top of lies. Any point of view that does not support his is labeled by him and his proponents as fake news. If he is reelected next year I am sure myself and my family will live through it but I am convinced now more than ever that four more years of Donald J Trump will do much more damage to our country than any good it may do.
