Not that i was thinking of voting for Donny boy but after reading this i am more fully behind Hilary. I hope that we get a different congress as well because to be included in the civil rights bill so that we would have national protection would be a great step forward.

A good dream at any rate.

Yes, I agree. We've needed a new congress for some time.

As much as I would like a woman President, I lean more towards Bernie Sanders on LGBT issues. Heres a clip from the 90s, showing Sanders defending gay people in the military before it was popular

Also, Hillary opposed Marriage equality and voted against Doma, I just don't feel her to be as competent in queer issues.

Well compared to Cruz on the other side, she shines in my eyes. The rest of the candidates fall way short (so far).

Can't we get enough of this already ?

I'm thinking i'll vote for Bernie in the primaries. I'm a socialist at heart but i think he would be even less effective with congress. The republican alternatives are scary. I'm sure some of them would have us wearing pink triangles like hitler did in Germany.

Oh I know the Donald being stroked publicly by Putin this week, was enough to make me gag...

Beware the rise of fascism is on our door step...

I agree. We should have a candidate who will stand up for our transgender rights. However, let's not lose sight of the overall big picture. The world is going through some troubling times. We need a strong leader who can lead us. One who can protect our freedoms. One who can stand up to these terrorists who would kill us. One who can make wise decisions for the good of our country. What good would our rights be if we were to lose everything else. That's something to think about.

Maybe they could give us all the state of Wyoming to live in peacefully. Oh wait, that won't work. They will just have a new threat and target to bomb.

Hold up! This comment can't be any more ignorant then any other of the comments following the article.

My question is: If a person makes less than $600,000 a year, why would they vote Republican? That is the "have nots" supporting the "haves". It's middle class economic suicide...

I remember when our country used to seem great. Was I so nieve???

Hhmmm....Well, I make considerably less than the specified figure, and I have voted Republican for many years now. I do so because I cherish the liberties guaranteed to me in the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights.

I once swore an oath to protect the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. This oath is not time-limited; it does not expire. I cannot vote for a candidate who would attack our Constitution, or otherwise act to destroy the our way of life.

I will vote in the forthcoming Republican primary and will support Conservative candidates in the subsequent general election. I do so because I value my remaining liberties.
