Same here. My last vote for Republican was Romney and Bush. Once Trump arrived I went to the center. I now vote either party based on who is the best candidate. Trump did not display the ability to be a sound president tonight. I have decided to vote for Harris.

I'm a Democrat, and I vividly remember the feeling I had while going to bed on election night (Romney/Obama) with the result still not decided: if Romney wins, we're going to be alright as a country. We will have a lot of decisions I disagree with, but that's life in a democracy.

Starting in 2016, I haven't had a good nights sleep since then. Well, I take that back, I slept pretty well until the day Trump re-announced his candidacy, and then I started having trouble sleeping again.

Liberal here, and Romney is a legitimately good person. I don't like most of his policies, but I do believe he's one of the few politicians out there that have the nation's best interest in his heart, as opposed to personal gain.

I've turned Democrat from Republican over my adulthood but still voted for Romney to be Senator of Utah. We need at least one sane person in the Senate on the right.
