1948: Saw Truman and Dewey both as too liberal on race and didnt like their campaings, protest vote for Thurmond
1952/1956: Why vote if Ike would still win?
1960: Didn't trust Jack nor Richard, so avoided voting
1964: Didn't trust LBJ and didn't like the Civil rights Act, so he voted Goldwater
1968: Feared Reagan rethoric agaisnt the New Deal legacy and the republicans in extention, vote for 'the friend of unions' HHH.

1980: Saw Carter as incompetent. Didn't want to vote for Reagan and saw Anderson as too liberal on social issues.
1984: He voted for Reagan as he saw him as a good Cold War leader and didn't like democrat social liberalism (and Jesse Jackson...)
1988: He didn't care that much about Cold War as Gorbachov did his reforms and didn't like social lliberal Dukakis nor lite Reagan Bush sr.
1992: Didn't like NAFTA (and feared mexican migration) so he voted Perot
