I had heard he voted in the Democratic primary back then, as President Bush was fighting a tough battle for reelection. I didn’t know for whom he had voted.

Answer: Paul Tsongas.

Another fun fact: Just a few years after President Reagan had left office, Romney was already a registered Independent. In fact, he once bragged about being an Indie throughout the Reagan years.

Quote: “I was an Independent during the time of Reagan/Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan/Bush”.
