I've been voting independent for the better part of four years as a result. I tend to do this when I'm happy with the Republican choice but that use to be so rare. I wasn't terribly happy with Bush Jr. after his second term but I was more confident in his results rather than his ability. I also thought his father deserved a second term, after all. And though his economic plan was a disaster, I was really hoping he'd reverse course on it in his second term. He didn't. I was really hoping Trump and his ilk would prove me wrong but when his economic plan matched Bush's from 2000. Well, to quote W. Bush...
"Fool me once, shame on...shame on you? You fool me, you can't get fooled again."
