Lifelong Democrat, culminating as precinct chair in Charlotte NC for several years ... until the Clinton and Obama regimes cured me of my delusion that today's "Democratic" party bears any resemblance to the party of FDR of LBJ. I retired from my IT job in a Charlotte TBTF bank in 2010 and have since resided in Italy, helping to look after my now 90-year-old mother-in-law. I am glad that, having no US residence, I was unable to vote in the 2016 US presidential election.
