    Oh really! Just hating Trump's boorish behavior is sufficient. Chuck and Nancy are coping admirably with a lying, possibly treasonous, conman who thinks nothing of putting 800,000 innocent workers at financial risk over a contrived "emergency" devised to keep his minority, racist base on side. Interesting that you are one of them.

      I think I might have voted Democrat in the 2008 presidential and/or senatorial election, but I can't remember for sure (I know I didn't vote Republican, though).

      Not a regular Republican voter either; I've also only voted for 1 or 2 Republicans in the last 8 years (I think only 1 but I'm not absolutely sure).

        I have. Heck, I even voted for a Green Party candidate in the last election.

          I confess to never having done so...

          Apart from not being eligible to vote in the US, I've only ever voted 3rd party here in NZ. Of course, we have a voting system such that ~4-7 parties get elected (current govt is a 3-party coalition with one of the parties I voted for in it) so voting 3rd party isn't a wasted vote.

              I have. A few times for local and state office. Not lately, but I've done it. I could even see myself voting for a classic "God and country" conservative Democrat for president, but I don't think they exist anymore.

                Yes in 2018, 2016, 2014, 2012... etc.

                  CP is not skittish at all about having made that vote, but just wishes Trump would shut up and stop stirring the pot.

                  Starlight falls into the category, apparently, of ignorantly and wrongly assigning other people to categories.

                  Does Starlight REALLY want to place himself in the same category as JimL endlessly and falsely declaring somebody else a Trump supporter simply because they voted "for" in order to stop somebody else? Come on, Star -- you have a brain. Use it!
                  Yeah yeah, yeah we all know: "Hillary made me do it". In fact Hillary, or virtually anybody else, would have been far better than the immoral liar you and your ilk has stuck us with. Although, maybe they wouldn't have stacked the SCOTUS with Justices more likely to do your bidding...any amount of chaos is worth it for that alone...right?

                    Multiple times. For both national office (House of Representatives and Senate multiple times) and state office (state representatives, state senators, Secretary of State, Lt. Governor and Governor). As of yet I haven't voted for a Democrat for President although most of the time neither have I voted for a Republican.

                    I'm always still in trouble again

                      The fact is that the evidence showed that Hillary was just as much if not more of an immoral liar and it looked like she was, through the Clinton Foundation, setting up a pay-for-play Administration.

                        So now that Clinton's gone, if Trump is the nominee again for the Republicans, you'll happily vote for whichever Dem nominee is against him?

                          There are very few Republican candidates I remember voting for. I voted for Obama twice, and I attended every convention, and ran for a position within the Democratic party in my state... many years ago.

                            The Congressman who represented my district for many years was a Democrat and I voted for him several times. (for full disclosure, he later became a Republican)
