do not. Bad or discriminatory policies were a part of that, but he's probably done some beneficial (read: progressive) things too, such as supporting women's choice and gun control. He ruled as a progressive repub (centrist) apparently. But his current platform is very Democratic. I have to look at what someone promises and plans to do NOW, and his or her ability to kick Donnie Dump's ass.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
