My wife and I are senior citizens who have voted since the early seventies. My parents were staunch Democrats and hers were just as strong Republicans. We are bipartisan independents and have voted both sides of the fence and on top of it. We are possibly a dying breed of moderates. If given the choice of a liar, thief, and a borderline insane person and his supporters or a moderate liberal, we will support and vote for the liberal.

I believe we both voted for Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Perot, Gore, Kerry, Obama, Clinton, and Biden. We believe a president should be concerned more with the “truth, justice, and the American way”. Yes, we would like a super person who can think for themselves – not like the Bush/Cheney pairing – support Democratic allies against others, stand up to blackmailing, stand behind their words, and most of all, think about the long term and not the next election cycle.

We admire politicians who push their goals and do not demean their opponents like some GOP radicals are doing. Our country is strong when we can work together in bi-partisan comprises. We want a President that reaches a hand out to both sides of the aisle to get equitable laws passed.

At this moment we would like to see the Republicans nominate Nikki Haley or Chris Christie. Both have the personality to work with both sides no matter which party controls the House and the Senate. Both are honest and were good governors.

Deciding who to vote for if one of them is the GOP nominee will be challenging. If it is Trump, then it is an easy decision for the third time.
