Connections to candidates

[tmthforu94]

I can't really comment too much on Presidential elections due to my age. I began seriously getting interested in 2007 and started liking Mitt Romney (can't remember my original reasons, to be honest) and it never waned.

As for Senatorial and Gubernatorial elections, I try as hard as possible to find someone close to me on the issues, which, incidentally, means usually the more electable candidate in the GOP primary. I proudly voted for Lugar in 2012 and in 2014, I will back Roberts if the Tea Party puts someone up against him. Not because I think he's more electable, because either would win in the GE, but because he'd probably be closer to me politically.

I really don't have a specific issue that is "make or break" in terms of garnering my support. There are a lot of different candidates in 2016 of varying ideologies who I could see myself voting for.
