Just curious how the crier of 'trumpbot' does when the light is turned in his direction.

president - one (Bush senior in 1988 or 1992, now I can't remember which year)
governor and senate - no earthly idea (probably a couple - I can look up the races in Texas and perhaps jog my memory)
BTW, voting history isn't the only thing that makes you a trumpbot in my book. Basically resorting to calling an entire political party (or always calling a major candidate one) by childish nicknames does it. So I guess that makes me one too.
eta - maybe 1 senate (iirc maybe Phil Gramm when I worked at Rice and his son Marshall was attending there?). Maybe 1 or 2 others like Dubya Bush for governor because I knew my vote meant nothing and the Democratic candidate was entirely forgettable.

So you've voted for as many republican presidents as I have (Reagan, 1980).

Right now, I see democrats as my enemies and Trump as the enemy of my enemies. It's kind of like FDR and Churchill didn't like Stalin, but Hitler was their enemy and Stalin was the enemy of their enemy.

I realize that it is hard for anyone who leans left to understand just how strongly I dislike the democrats. But they have multiple issue positions, which I have recited repeatedly, which are absolute drop-dead show-stoppers for me. So they are mt enemies. And i suppose that means that if you support them then you are my enemy, too.

How many Democratic presidents have you voted for in your lifetime?

Fort Bend -- if you notice you are now doing the act which we noted earlier. That is, you are seemingly moving the yardstick to defining 'trumpbot' as denoting those who dont vote or view things as you do.
