Your reaction if Bernie Sanders wins the presidency?

[Mallow]

My reaction would be the same as it was when Obama was elected and when the Supreme Court made same sex marriage legal.  I would be thinking the world has gone crazy.  It would be clear that the U.S. is no longer a center right country, it is a center left country at best.  Perhaps going toward socialism.  Not a trace of the country that elected Reagan in landslides would be left. 

That you feel the need to vocalize your belief that a half million married couples in this country don't deserve the same level of dignity and respect as their straight counterparts saddens me. All I ask is to be treated like a human being, which I wouldn't think should be asking too much.

Terrified, but excited for that filibuster-proof majority in 2018 and President Tim Scott in 2020!

That would be fantastic.  Honestly, I feel like Hillary is a far more nimble navigator and would do far more to fundamentally transform America than Sanders would, so I'm more scared of HRC than Sanders.

Don't be silly, there's only one nimble navigator.

So nimble that every Dem is cheerleading him on so he loses in a massive landslide and gives HRC free reign to raise our taxes, stuff the courts with liberals, and move us further left.  Nah.

Very upset the country elected a socialist. However, eventually finding relief knowing that 1.) None of his proposals would pass 2.) He would either lose re-election or his life during his first term.

Basically, a Dem win from any candidate in my opinion will result in no change from todays status quo overall. The radical changes will not pass in Congress.

I would be excited about the electoral reform Bernie would bring.

I am happy that you have the opportunity to marry. I have always been in favor of a Constitutional Amendment which specifically permits marriage between any individuals regardless of sex or identification. The wording can be worked out, but in principle I am sure that you understand. I see no reasonable justification for not permitting full marriage rights to all individuals and I have a very hard time figuring out why some people in my party just do not agree. I helped endorse legalization here in Massachusetts, for example.


With that said, I do  not agree with the Supreme Court's decision in unilaterally stipulating that same sex marriage is a protected constitutional right via the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protections Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This is clearly just not the case. Neither the Due Process clause or the Equal Protection Clause were either intended to usurp the laws of the states on this issue and I do not believe that it is just to rob the citizenry the ability to govern so as to satisfy your political proclivities. It was purely activist decision in my opinion.


With that said, again, I am entirely in favor of a Constitutional Amendment which will end this issue moving forward and I urge members of my party to endorse such an Amendment and settle the issue. The opposition seems very irrational to me.

Happy, since the Republican party will destroy the Democrats in the midterms in 2018 even worse than 2014, 2000, 1994 and 1946
