15 years ago, anyone who supported our military, taking a hard-line with our enemies, maintaining strong alliances, being pro-business, being pro-farming, being pro free-trade & believed in Christian values would likely vote for a Republican up and down the ballot. Now, they will vote Democratic! 😂
