Oct 2015

Some will vote based on gender only
Some will vote based on their own economic situation
Some will vote based on what the MSM tells them they should do
etc etc...

If contrast was used in who would move America in the right direction for the future
the clear winner would be Senator Sanders
For some an election is a popularity contest and nothing more.

Oh well going to walk my dogs now
