30. And Reagan used to be a big time Democrat too!

You can play the "used to be" game in many different ways!

I also voted for John Anderson for president too, back in the days when Jimmy Carter was "born again" and Michele Bachmann was campaigning for Carter...

I would vote TODAY for someone like Carter in a heartbeat!

You can try to distract from what Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton have been doing today and recent years with this sort of distortion, but ultimately people will look at the issues and who stands with them.

When Ms. Warren grows up in Oklahoma, I cut her a lot of slack in the older days.

It's not about just which "team" they are on, but what they actually do for their constituency and the people in general.
