The biggest difference between a republican voter and a democratic
party voter is the republican voter votes against his or her interest on purpose.

1. All depends on economic status.
What you said is true about middle class and poor Republicans.
I suppose you could make a case for wealthy Republicans voting against their own interests. So far as they push the right-wing agenda so far that it backfires on them.

2. For the most part
I have relatives who are staunch Republicans.

They are extremely rich...

Extremely rich.

I don't agree with them, but I understand that they are acting in their own personal interests.


It's the rest of the morans, who do vote against their own personal interests, that drive me up the wall!

4. But even they probably hurt themselves this past time.
Portfolios shrunk pretty bad unless they somehow were positioned just right or were inside traders.

5. Not investors
Entrepreneurs.

They own their private companies, so they are not subject to the vagrancies of the stock market.
