Trust me, I have 0 plans on voting for Hilary. But who else can the Democrats win with? I mean really. Bernie openly calls himself a socialist. Yea, good luck with that. Baby boomers are still alive.

And frankly, the Republican party still has an issue with wanting their personal beliefs to be inserted into politics. If one of them would just say, "no I don't believe in abortion. I'm pro life. But surveys show that over 80% of people support women making this choice, and as President, my job would be to speak for the people."

Dude. I literally just typed out a long arse rant about how Republicans need to let go of religion and drop the holier than thou act, but said frick it and deleted all of it.

Nice summation though.

I couldn't agree more.

Let people have their social issues. The federal government shouldn't be telling people what they can or can't do and they shouldn't be paying for the shite either.

First off, 80% of people don't support abortion. This is the answer I would like to see on abortion/social issues:

"While I'm personally against abortion, I believe in Federalism and we should allow states to decide. Same for gay marriage. Our constitution was designed such that the powers not assigned to the federal government will be given to the states. Let each state decide for itself. I have no desire to dictate how to live your life. I will protect you from our enemies and provide infrastructure to facilitate interstate commerce. What you do from there is up to you."
