Feb 2016

But we've been married 35 years, and when my husband started down the road of being a Republican, it was a totally different party.

As I said, he voted for Obama and really likes him, so I think he *thinks* he's a Republican, but he knows logically they're a bunch of crackpots.

Having said that, I *will* vote for the Democratic nominee, and I suspect with more information, he will as well.

I didn't believe Reagan or W could get in, either. Now, I realize W didn't actually win, but tblue37 Feb 2016 #21

According to you Nader stole the election and yet history shows us that Gore did win. A Simple Game Feb 2016 #85
It's part of the historial record at this point MaggieD Feb 2016 #87
At this point in time it's well known that Gore got more votes in Florida. Nader stole nothing. A Simple Game Feb 2016 #90

How would you feel about people writing in Hillary if Bernie is the nominee? grossproffit Feb 2016 #11
It's a free country? dchill Feb 2016 #16
