And that is why Obama does not pay his female staff as much as he does him male staff. I wonder if he ever rectified that since it was reported?

Republicans will NOT win if all they preach is repealing the ACA. The inhumane healthcare system that America had prior to the ACA is gone and will never be coming back. Republicans better start thinking of some innovative ideas if they are going to run on an anti-ACA platform.

Republicans will lose as long as they keep focusing on insulting a majority of Americans. They still can not get this fact through their tunnel visioned hard headed sculls. They need to find a better way to get their message across to people that doesn't involve belittling them which seems like an impossible feat.

ACA is just as inhumane, and many people agree with the spirit of ACA, but disagree with the implementation of it. I see no problem with Republicans running against the "implementation" of ACA.

If you're already giving up every non-white group then you can't also give up women and expect to win outside of artificially gerrymandered districts.
try again my friend, kenndy signed the equal pay act into law in 1963;

The Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA)

Depends on who their candidate is and on what the economy and the international situation will look like in 2016.

Interestingly enough, weren't many/most/all ideas for the ACA originally proposed by Republicans?

I think a Republican could still win on an anti-gay marriage platform, but they won't win on a platform that isn't for protecting GLBT from discrimination in public or in the work place. That is a big time make it or break it issue for my family.

Republican can win if they stop focusing on social issues altogether and start talking about and focusing on the economy.
