(22,668 posts)His background is he has always voted Republi all his life. He's more to the right than most, considers Bush II a RINO. I'd label him libertarian who votes straight GOP ticket and thinks he's smarter than everyone else around him. Of course he repeats the talking point that he's mad, but doesn't ever explain about what. He listens to a lot of RW radio. Dennis Miller seems to be his favorite at the moment.
Here's how he explained it to me today when I asked if his wife (R) or neighbors (R) were going to caucus. "They're not interested in going. I invited them to come along with me, but only one of their son's is coming along. Too much hassle! This will be my second caucus. It's stupid. You sit around with a bunch of your neighbors, raising your hand and a few people speak up about their candidates." So out of several dozen GOP supporters, only two were 'MAD' or 'REALLY REALLY MAD' enough about the direction the country was headed to bother participating in picking a party candidate.
They don't sound motivated at all. If anything they sound like they're a room full of cats, running about aimlessly.
