    Never been a Trump supporter. :)

    However, there is a good chance that I may end my 40 year alliance with the Libertarian Party and change my membership to the American Solidarity Party by election day.

    I read their platform last night and pretty much agree with it. I especially like their being pro-life for the whole life and defending traditional marriage. Also, I am very intrigued by Distributism and am learning more about it between now and the election.
