Routh is on the North Carolinas voter rolls as an unaffiliated voter.
He's nut job. Unfocused, easily distracted, seriously did not think through his actions.

(411 posts)My Dad is a Republican, voted for Obama. Is he a Democrat? He then voted for Trump. But wait, he voted for a Democrat, that makes him a Democrat. One vote doesn't make you anything.

Ryan Wesley Routh was Trump voter that was registered as unaffiliated and promoted a Haley/Ramaswamy "winning ticket" earlier this year.

(120,478 posts)He voted for Trump in 2016, has donated small amounts to Act Blue, recently supported Ramaswamy and Haley but also once supported Bernie Sanders. He has been all over the place politically. Basically he's kind of a nutter, apparently motivated by his obsession with Ukraine. Check The Google.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) Former President Donald Trump wasnt harmed in Sundays apparent assassination attempt as he golfed near his Florida club. But the second attack on his life in barely two months is likely to further unsettle an election cycle already marked by upheaval.
The man suspected in the incident, Ryan Wesley Routh, camped outside the golf course in West Palm Beach with food and a rifle for nearly 12 hours, according to court documents filed Monday. He is accused of lying in wait for the former president before a Secret Service agent opened fire, thwarting the potential attack.
Here are five things to know about what happened and where the investigation stands:
