I cannot vote in your poll because you do not have a basic and obvious choice listed.

I do not care what someone does privately! As long as it is legal.

To me the best person should be able to get the job regardless race, sexual preference, etc.

I’m not voting on this one as there are too many things that to me play into this and I never will vote based on one item.

How is he a lunatic liberal? If anything he is a moderate Democrat.

lots of rumors of him experimenting with men in college and being a frequenter of the bathhouse scene. maybe not outright gay but bisexual. think frank underwood. it wouldn't surprise me if things came out later in his life. he is very protected by the media.

Baby boomers are the obstacle preventing a gay (or woman) president. Once they have passed, a lot of the nonsense will go with them. Then it will depend on if we are still a united country or a loose group of regions as to whether there will be one or several leaders with their sexual preference not being a factor at all.

Here we go. Democrats out number Republicans by a good measure. By the numbers Democrats should be able to win every single presidential election..

The reason Hillary lost is because she quite simply was that bad. It wasn't because of the Russians, Chinese, or Plutonians from outer space. She sucked. She couldn't inspire hungry dogs to eat raw meat.


Most people I know vote party line. Then the next group votes policy and what the candidate stands for.

When that gets short circuited is when you have someone as god awful as Hillary was. Then people dont turn out to vote and the Independents impact the election.

Hillary barely carried her party. Many who voted for her did so because Trump was also that bad.

Most will vote for the person who represents what the people believe in. I will say this. You want to hurt your chances? Pull a Hillary and act like its owed to you.

Ill vote for a purple gay person if their policies reflect what I believe in. Compromise between the parties to put the needs of the nation first. Stop playing world cop. Cut the military by at least 25%. Balanced budget. Single payer health care. Something like Australia has.

Amazing how most people believe this and also that Michelle is actually Michael, yet have such a difficult time coming to terms that Trump might be corrupt.

Don't forget, the red state of Texas just passed a law dedicated to Chick-fil-A, they are so supportive of the opposition to gays. Go to any right wing blog and there will be some anti-gay screed somewhere on the page with pleas for the "good old days" when men were men! Never mind that most gays I know are more educated and financially successful than the average.

Look at the baby boomers running the country, Trump, McConnell, Lindsay, et. al. Remember when Obama was president and the GOP was all about sequestration? Remember the Tea Party? Yeah, that's all dead because once the GOP is in charge, deficits don't matter! We need to get passed the baby boomers so we can focus on the most qualified rather than sexual orientation vs. how many wives someone had to prove their virility.
