I couldn't wait until I was 21 to vote. I was a Democrat, not knowing what that meant. In my 60s a dear friend said, "the Democrats aren't the same as they were in the 1960s." I read and listened to the news. I'm 70 years of age now and up on the news, up on what is going on.

I've changed my affiliation and have a clear view where my country is going and it doesn't look good. People who are living in the past, read, watch the news and get educated. I don't think you will vote your old party again.
