but looking at the last repuglican results Trump
seems to be high on the list. His problem is that
he is a pure attack dog without a coherent platform.

I suppose, just to be fair, include the candidates'
"votes" on the NRA. And, yes, I am a strong
Bernie supporter.

I think Bernie would check all of those.

Hillary and Mo'M would at least check some of them.

For one, Hillary has secured billions in green energy investments, campaigned in 2007 on cap and trade, job training programs for renewable energy workers, etc. She even has a 100% rating for protecting Social Security, the list goes on and on.
