Young, captivated by JFK's idealism in 1960. Voted to "Let Us Continue" in 1964. Liked Wallace's attacks on hippies in 1968. Thought highly of McGovern more as a person than Nixon in 1972. Knew Gerald Ford personally and so voted for him in 1976. Was not fond of Reagan at all, so voted for Anderson in 1980 and then Mondale in 1984. Stayed Democratic in '88 for Dukakis, found Bush too preppy. Liked Perot's Texas charms in '92, but felt Bubba did good for the economy to re-elect him 4 years later. Liked neither candidate in 2000 so went with Nader. Voted against Bush in 2004 because of uneasiness with the war in Iraq. In 2008, it was a close call but ultimately chose McCain because he just really liked the guy on late night TV shows. Soured on Obama by 2012, so went with Romney. He really did not like Trump so went with Hillary and Joe.
I'll go next:
1952: Eisenhower (age 23) 1956: Eisenhower (age 27) 1960: Kennedy (age 31) 1964: Goldwater (age 35) 1968: Nixon (age 39) 1972: Nixon (age 43) 1976: Ford (age 47) 1980: Reagan (age 51) 1984: Mondale (age 55) 1988: Bush (age 59) 1992: Perot (age 63) 1996: Dole (age 67) 2000: Buchanan (age 71) 2004: Bush (age 75) 2008: Obama (age 79) 2012: Stein (age 83) 2016: Stein (age 87) 2020: Biden (age 91)
