How would you describe a person who voted for Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan in 2000, voted for the reelection of President George W. Bush in 2004, wrote in Ron Paul's name in 2008, voted for the reelection of President Barack Obama in 2012, and wrote in Bernie Sanders' name in 2016.

Someone who started out as a populist conservative who distrusted the republican party and so voted for Buchanan

Became hawkish after 9/11 and voted for Bush 04 because of the War on Terror

Shifted somewhat libertarian on social issues and foreign policy, not enough to vote for the libertarians in ~2006 as the Iraq War became unpopular, voted Ron Paul as a protest vote in 08.

Then they benefited from the recovery and gave Democrats the credit, moved left on economic issues as a result but who still disliked Clinton from the 90s and voted Bernie.

Overall, anti-establishment, but becoming more liberal as they age.

Obviously a young man (the Buchanan and Paul votes are giveaways). Probably (though not certainly) non-college at first -then went through college later. Probably a resident of Hillsborough county New Hampshire.
