2. unfortunately, this race is not about just virtue

Jul 2015

it is about setting this country on the right path for the future and to right the wrongs of massive inequality. The sooner people know where the candidates stand, the sooner they can make their decisions. Republicans have set the schedule up and they have a lot more candidates to deal with. The Democrats have five major candidates. This foot dragging is getting ridiculous.
