clinton vs. sanders your vote? — Page 13

Stopping abortion will never be an issue because there will be a close by state where it can be done, even if your state dosen't allow it. It is another of the old school conservative issues that can never be brought to complete fruition. Perhaps another issue that separates them from the general public. Now if we can only get the general public to vote. I believe overturning that decision would spur too much division and it is something the GOP power brokers don't want to make an issue.

Do you really think that stopping the access to abortion is an issue in this country now? I think we have bigger issues that the GOP is concerned about like raising taxes on the wealthy. These are ancillary issues, they mean to do a lot of things, abortion is not high on the agenda. Huckabee, Santorum, and most of the rest of them will run on this platform and they will lose.

You know, I thought I did. I could've sworn I read something about the uptick in abortion restrictions in the past four years alone.

You know that some people can think about two or three or even more things at once right? And for someone who is so fixated on income inequality you seem to be pretty myopic to not see how income inequality informs a whole host of other issues, like abortion and voter disenfranchisement.

These are ancillary issues, they mean to do a lot of things, abortion is not high on the agenda.

Except for those new restrictions.

"Well then, as of now, which of the announced GOP candidates would get your vote over Hillary?"

None. The Democratic and Republican nominee won't be the only two people on the ballot.

I stand corrected on the abortion rights matter, states are trying to roll back Roe v. Wade, some successfully.

Or Breyer, or both, why don't these people take one for the team? Are they confident HC is gonna win?

PJ did you like South Pacific? Are you the cockeyed optimist?

"Bernie Sanders is gaining on Hillary Clinton in Iowa and New Hampshire, with an appeal as an issue-oriented protest vehicle potentially capable of slowing any coronation of the popular front-runner.

In simultaneous surveys, the U.S. senator from Vermont received nearly a quarter of support from likely Democratic caucus and primary voters in the states that host the first presidential nomination balloting early next year, cutting sharply into Clinton's still-huge lead."

Has she announced her candidacy yet?

That's one of the areas where I disagree with Sanders. Even though the NRA has given him a D or F rating.

I'm hoping the media will ask him about it because I'm curious to see if his position would change as President instead of Senator from Vermont.

He was asked about on Morning Joe this morning. But they only stayed on that topic for like 30 seconds and all he got to say was he was in favor of stronger gun control laws and his campaign would be discussing it in more detail soon.

The inestimable Adam Feldman of Time Out NY posted this reminder today to all those thinking of sitting out the election if Hillary is the candidate:

Remember that the Supreme Court's ruling was a 5-4 decision. If Obama hadn't won in 2008, the case would have been lost 6-3. ?#‎WhyWeVoteDemocrat?

No, he's not. He's an Independent and a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, but he is running for the Democratic nomination.
