Marco Rubio steps in it.

Abortion isn't going to change based on who is VP or president. They would want a Democrat on the ticket to show that they can work with the other side to solve issues. Right now we need to bring the country back toward the middle where things work well. If you think it will just shift completely to the right like tearing off a bandaid then soon enough we will be talking about Obama being a centrist. There is no perfect candidate out there and you will never agree with any candidate 100% of the time.
There are certain social issues which distinguish the two major parties. Abortion and homosexual marriage being right at the top. The Republican party will not nominate a pro-abortion candidate for vice-president or president. Same goes with a candidate who is friendly to homosexual marriage. These two issues aren't centrist. They are causes favored by the far Left. I remember the mere mention of God being booed at the 2012 Democratic presidential convention.

The Democrats at the national level are mostly secularists. The Republican party still acknowledges its conservative wing as very much a religious contingent. That being the case, the GOP is respectful towards people of faith. The United States is predominantly a Christian nation. It annoys the Left whenever this is brought up. But, it is true. As a largely Christian nation, it is right that at least one major party reflect the values and traditions which have undergirded our country from its founding.

Those issues aren't changing based on the president or vice president though. They shouldn't even be something that enters the decision making process because we are voting for someone that can improve the country, not someone to be our friend.

Social issues determine who will be the GOP nominee. If we don't get the society right, the whole endeavor is lost. Barack Obama's radical social engineering will take years to correct.

Hillary Clinton will be the next President.
You heard it here first.

Just say no. Not because she is a democrat, but because she has accomplished basically nothing. Couldn't even run the state department.

It doesn't matter for many people that she is incompetent. It will be (first female as President)historic.

Very true. Sad, but true. I would be ok with a woman president, but certainly not a fan of Hillary.

True, your right. Now if she went to the Betty ford clinic for cocane abuse and miss managed a MLB team and then became a crappy governor, then she would be ready to lead this country. Until she has a resume like that she needs to go home. When your last name is Clinton then you think your supposed to be president just like if your last name is Bush.

More unsubstantiated Bush bashing: it never seems to go away, probably because people will believe anything they read on the internet. With that in mind, can you support anything you said in the above post?

When did Bush go to the Betty Ford Clinic for cocaine abuse?

How, specifically did W mismanage the Texas Rangers?

If he was such a "crappy governor" of TX why did he get re-elected with 69% of the vote, which included 40% of Latinos and 27% of the black vote?

Lmao the right wrote the book on unsubstantiated claims. Sorry I have to constantly be reminded that there's different rules for the right, what was I thinking. Also I love how you looked up the voting percentages from when he ran for governor....keep up the good work. Lol

I'm not even sure why Obama or Hillary are trying to run things. Clearly everyone knows that the country is supposed to be ran by rich grey haired white guys. Or a Mormon with perfect hair and a billion dollar smile.
