There are no Democrats listed in my table. We’re trying to select the best and most reliable all around conservative as the Republican nominee so we don’t have to suffer a democrat President. Most people on FR are conservatives, either socially, fiscally or defense wise or some combination thereof. Hopefully, most are conservative in all areas. Also, hopefully, we can land on a candidate who can pull all factions together with a minimum of deal killers that would cause big losses of one group or another.
Perhaps I wasn’t clear. I realize that no Democrats were listed in your table. The list included issues, but the WOT and our military’s best interests were not included. That, in my opinion, was a glaring error. I want the best and most reliable all around conservative too. I’ve seen that not everyone on any conservative/Republican forum has yet to agree on who would be the best candidate. That’s to be expected. What I am hoping and praying for is that sound minds WILL prevail when it comes time to pull that lever for the next President of the United States. We must NOT allow a Dem to become president because the worst of the R’s look like diamonds compared to what the Dem’s are offering up.
It’s a great table but we should consider that there is more to a candidate than their position on issues.
Their experience; their leadership skills; their capability.
Unlike a legislative position where they just vote on things, and positions are paramount in judging, a president hires, fires, and manages a $2.6 trillion budget.
Good voters consider their character, temperment, leadership and ability to articulate and make things happen when choosing a President.
