Robert Valenzuela: Trump drives Republican out of party

The first person I ever voted for was Barry Goldwater. As a lifelong Republican, I recently registered as an Independent. I could never vote for Hillary on the left or Trump on the right, but I could vote for a regular Joe like Vice President Joe Biden. On the plus side, we won’t have to endure any more hair or pants suit jokes. Biden has nothing to hide, he’s balding and pant less.

Robert Valenzuela, Atwater
