There are plenty of us breaking this "stereotype."

I'm a white, male voter. I'm a veteran, NRA member, NASCAR lover... etc etc etc.

For me it's not about skin color, religion or who their favorite driver is.

It's about policies and the Republicans just don't have any good ones.

Solid blue baby, solid blue!
