Carly Fiorina

If the question before me were "should Carly Fiorina be our next President?" the answer would have to be I really don't know yet.

John Kasich

I anticipated a decent amount of political experience but was surprised to find even more political experience than expected. Even when we need a change of course experience is a valuable commodity.

Ted Cruz

Ted's values centered approach and his open "judge me based on my past actions" attitude make him a candidate deserving of consideration.

George Pataki

I went into this with no opinion of George Pataki but I conclude that as a candidate he is simply a placeholder in case the voters reject all the candidates who are really trying to win the nomination.

Bernie Sanders

In the end I've concluded that Bernie Sanders is like Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul - a legitimate candidate who swings for the fences and excites a portion of the electorate but whose vision voters should take with a grain of salt even if they support him.

Rick Santorum

When surrounded by more flamboyant candidates it's easy to forget the depth and breadth of experience that Rick Santorum brings to the table as a candidate.

Donald Trump

I could forgive a candidate for having underdeveloped policy positions and plans, I can also forgive a candidate for being prone to verbal gaffes but I find it difficult to conclude that a candidate suffering from both of those drawbacks is actually ready to hold the office of president. The fact that Donald Trump has both of those flaws while maintaining such a significant level of support in the race makes him a very politically destructive candidate.

Adult Desires vs Children’s Rights

Saying that we can make no legal distinction between heterosexual couples and homosexual couples means that we codify into law that the desires of adults take precedence over the rights of children. Those who would argue that the logic behind this is anti-adoption are missing the point.
