I have donated to Cory Booker here in CO and I have been an R delegate to our state convention. I support a lot of what Trump has done in office.
I am seriously considering voting for Biden this time. I understand that this is perhaps voting against my own financial interest, although, as I've posted over the years, I strongly believe that the robustness of the US system transcends the man (or hopefully in 2024 Nikki Haley) in the White House.
I watched last night with a part of me hoping that Biden would present an epic fail, giving me cover to hold my nose and vote for Trump again. Didn't happen. Instead I was treated to Trump acting like an ass, at least in part confirming partisan caricatures that I've preferred to ignore or minimize.
My vote is not cast, but Trump's performance pushed me firmly toward Biden. I'll admit I was trending that way, but I'm almost all the way there now.

Jim I can not believe that you would actually vote for Biden esp. with who is his running mate. Good Grief!!!
