The most critical issue for 2016

America absolutely cannot afford two things: (1) Not to have a veto power in the white house to protect our oldest, poorest and weakest from the radical tea party fanatics and (2) another far right appointment to the supreme court (remember Ruth Ginsberg will have to resign soon). A vote for the Republican party (any of them) means more lock step march toward completely making this a nation of Kings and paupers.

Given that we're well on the path to wiping out the entire human race, but that's just me.

Most DEMs will vote for Hillary in the primary because she's the safe choice, and I think most folks will vote Repub in the GE because they had Big, Bad Obama for 8 years and it's time to get rid of the DEM in the White House.

I hope I am wrong, but that's the way I see it.
