I won't make this into a poll, but tell us who you follow and whose opinions affect your voting inclinations.
I'm a Republican. So for me it's:
Lindsay Graham
Sen John Kennedy, LA
Cathy McMorris Rogers, WA
Nikki Haley
And from the media it's Brett Baier from Fox.
There are others who influence me, but those are the ones I find myself respecting the most.
You?
I respect actions over words. How many politicians over the years have promised the moon and didn't even try to deliver once voted in? How many talking heads on TV deliver us doom and gloom on a daily basis but my experience is the opposite? How many times have I been called a racist and the cause of the problems in the world by the Left because I'm a middle aged white guy?
I hear a lot of negativity and it is all garbage.
I have always leaned to the Right in my voting inclinations but in the past have voted for Democrats because I felt they were the best for the job at the time but given what we are seeing from the Left nowadays the only influence they are peddling is negative anti American trash.
I support Trump, and besides him I would support Marco Rubio and I hope Ted Cruz runs again. Cruz was my first choice during the last election followed by Rubio and Carson.
In terms of the media, Sean Hannity has an impact on who I support.
Also, Don Lemon, Jim Acosta and Chris Cilliza from CNN have a reverse impact because whoever they like is someone I would NEVER vote for!!!! Same is true of that crazy lesbian woman on MSNBC forgot her name.
Rand Paul, although his father Ron was better. For the media I'd say Lara Logan. She's been through hell, isn't afraid to speak her mind, and promotes old fashioned journalism. Sharyl Attkisson also gets my respect.
Milton Friedman
Frederick Bastiat
Michael Badnarik
Francis Schaeffer Cox
Thomas Jefferson
Ron Paul
I respect ANYONE who advocates for letting people be Free To Choose as long as their action or inaction does not encroach upon the rights or property of another AND a government which is fully restrained and LIMITED to its enumerated Constitutional powers.
For the haters- which I don’t care- I like Liz Warren - she is the underdog but has right intentions. She’s not perfect- but I like her fight. Also Cory Booker.
