Republican in every election except for 2016, where I would have voted for McMullin or Johnson, though with hindsight I would have voted for Trump.

I find it interesting that there is many of you in here who would have voted for JFK & LBJ but either would have voted or did vote for Republicans in later elections (especially for Reagan, Bush 43 and even Trump).

Are you kidding me? JFK & LBJ domestic policy wise have limited or no similarities to Reagan, Bush 43 & Trump. I guess you guys are just saying that because of JFK & LBJ's notoriety.

Grew up in a staunchly Republican household and was one myself until the party moved so far rightwards.  With that in mind:

1960: Nixon (don't really remember it, but know my mother was a huge Nixon supporter.)
1964: Goldwater (I remember this campaign, but was till too young to really follow politics.)
1968: Nixon (first election I was really interested in, though not yet old enough to vote.)
1972: Nixon
1976: Ford (might have voted for Udall instead if he won the D nomination; I always liked him).
1980: Anderson
1984: Libertarian candidate
1988: Libertarian candidate
1992: Clinton
1996: Clinton
2000: Gore
2004: blank
2008: Obama
2012: Obama
2016: Clinton

I’ll go 20 years better and go from 1940 - onward.

1940: FDR
1944: FDR
1948: Truman
1952: Eisenhower
1956: Eisenhower
1960: John F Kennedy
1964: LBJ
1968: [Primary] RFK • [GE] Nixon (100% would have been RFK)
1972: Nixon
1976: Ford
1980: [Primary] Ted Kennedy • [GE] Reagan
1984: Reagan
1988: Dukakis
1992: Clinton
1996: Clinton
2000: Gore
2004: Bush
2008: Obama
2012: Obama - (Tossup, really liked Romney as MA Gov before he pivoted & pandered to the looney tune right)
2016: Hillary - (Initially was reluctant Hillary supporter until Trump became GOP nominee, then became passionately for Hillary) | ( Definitely would’ve voted GOP if Kasich had been nominee, likely would’ve voted GOP if Christie or Rubio had been nominee)


Vote id be most enthusiastic about : JFK

Vote id be least enthusiastic about: Ford

Vote which hindsight would regret the LEAST: JFK

Vote which hindsight would regret the MOST: LBJ (Gore a distant second)

Election Id be happy with either candidate at time of vote:
