Please feel free to select Cruz and your candidate, the DNC will absolutely Love it ad you can get used to the idea of saying Madame President Hillary Clinton. I will hope the GOP has more sense and fields a quality candidate.
Ignoring what facts?

Well, gee, you sure waste a lot of time defending Hillary if she "is not" your candidate.

Obstructionism? What do you call Harry Reid's refusal to bring over 300 bills to the Senate floor, which were passed by the House, in the last Congress?

What do you call his refusal to compromise with the Republicans on anything, which ultimately led to the so-called "shut-down" for which you left-wingers blame Ted Cruz?

Finally, the Congress is not supposed to be simply a "rubber stamp" for the Presidents agenda. Where did you study government? Ever take a Civics class in high school? Do you have any clue why our government is structured the way it is, with separation of powers?

Qualified because ... why? Because she was once the First Lady? Because she was once a Senator? Because she was once the Secretary of State? What are her qualification? Be specific.

So lets hear the actual platforms and details before making choices, or will you simply vote Republican no matter who it is?
So, a good reason to vote for Hillary is because she is not one of them? That's what you've been saying.

Because anyone left of the far right is a far left nut job to you.
Please feel free where I have ever defended her, I will wait.
Reid is not the topic, why is Cons cannot stay on topic. Pssst I was against Reid's tactics, nice try, but assuming only makes you look ignorant.
I did not see the Repubs compromising on anything, did see them refuse to back off tax breaks time and time again, but again you are OFF TOPIC.
I never said they have to rubber stamp anything, you are seeing things, again. I understand how our government is supposed to work far better than you and many Cons, the proof is I understand that for our form of government to actually work compromise by both sides is required and as we see Cons are not even good a compromising with each other otherwise the Republican Controlled Congress would have gotten some actual work done by now.
She is qualified because of all of the things I mentioned, whether or not I vote for her will be up to the GOP, pick someone better and I will be happy to support them, unlike you that will simply walk into the voting booth and once again vote straight Repub ticket even if you do not know who all of them even are.
Depends on the "them" when it comes to Cruz that will be enough for the voters to vote for her, if it is a more moderate candidate that tactic will not work.

We pick our government, so its failings reflect on us.

"We spend it more efficiently than government and someone has to service our needs. Meaning jobs."
Let me ask you, were we spending money more efficiently when we bought Beanie Babies/Crocs/Uggs/survival food/nutritional supplements/subprime mortgages, or was the government spending money more efficiently when it created ARPANET, the precursor to the internet?

If conservatives don't drop the ball, then they'll effectively take advantage of their greatest opportunity to save this country from the malaise caused by Barry. The crop of candidates is the strongest in years, but we also cannot afford a moderate to win. And we certainly cannot afford another Democrat to win. People will vote for a contrast to this administration, that there is a sincere, genuine resolve to put America back on track, and nothing less. That's the only thing that will work to win the next presidential election.

Dems have been celebrating their advantage with the growing demographics in the USA at the same time we have more elected Republicans than at any moment since 1928 and Repubs control the House, Senate and most state legislatures and governorships. What will Dems do if a Repub is elected President and they have no voice in government?

If that happens, the Dems would sit back, wait for the Repugs to overplay their hand, and then regain power.

And yes you do have a choice. That's on you.
I vote with the options given me, writing in another name never has nor will it ever make a difference, and only does harm to those you would prefer over the other.
Pssst, they are ALL pro big business and pro big government, if you do not realize that fact then yes you are a sheeple.
The ONLY way that will change will have to be at the grassroots level an with the support of most Americans until that happens nothing much will really change.
