Do you not think it's odd that republicans have such dedicated voters while democrats have such non-committal voters? Why do you think that is?

As late as 1980s, the GOP had a Liberal wing. Once Reagan got his claws firmly embedded the Right was able to marginalize or remove them.

There's an old saying in US politics; Democrats fall in love and GOP fall in line. GOP will vote for any candidate with an R next to their name, and the Dems want someone they can get excited about.

I will never vote for any republican as long as I live. Haven't done so in quite a few years.
