As you're trying to decide(or have decided) who to support for president, what issue(s) have been at the top of your list?

Notice the question is asking about names of issues, not about the names of candidates. If you're not sure how to describe a issue(s), a rather detailed list of issues can be found
here.

I want to challenge people to resist mentioning candidates names.
:eek:

Yes, that'll be hard...but I know you can do it! :p

My top issue: Stop letting the rich rule America and start having the government be ran by the people and For the people. Sure, the really rich are people too, but the Majority of Americans are poor and middle class.

Meaning?

Examples?

I think I might know what you mean, but I don't want to "put words in your mouth"...
Actually, as simple as it sounds. Our Nation is fractured severely, and possibly beyond repair, but I pray not.

I just don't see how national reconciliation is going to be done.

How do we reconcile people who are climate deniers with climate alarmists?

How do we reconcile people who are pro-life with people who are for abortion rights?

How do we reconcile people who are opposed to same-sex marriage with those who favor it?

How do we reconcile those who think of the USA as a world leader and super power with those who think the USA is greedy, gotten powerful at the expense of other countries, and who shouldn't be a world leader?

How do we reconcile people who feel they should have the right to guns with those who feel guns are evil and destructive?

How do we reconcile the right to practice religion in the public with the right to be free from religion in public?

I didn't say it would happen in my lifetime........I said it was one of my Top Issues. You didn't specify they had to be resolved. Now......that being said:

God CAN reconcile our Nation should He choose to............the power of prayer should NEVER be underestimated.

Tornado warnings past me now...........so, good night to all.

1. Reassert the Bill of Rights and the freedoms under fire by the radical left and their Cultural Marxist goons.

No quarter. No capitulation. No compromise. Sic Semper Tyrannis.

2. Supreme Court Appointments

Let's give Scalia a successor he'll be proud of and hold the court for another generation.

3. Obamacare

Just...go...away....

4. Immigration

Strengthen the border. Fix it.


Well, those are my biggies.

number one...deception and apostasy...and opposition to deception and apostasy...

character...integrity...decency...unfortunately these things that everyone...especially christians...should be in agreement about have instead become contentious issues...

willingness to uphold the constitution...even when it complicates your ability to get certain things done...

respect for and willingness to defend my values...

few posts up you stated "I just don't see how national reconciliation is going to be done." I just answered you don't. when things get as divided as they are, only thing that seems to happen is conflict.

The Confederates and Union men had more in common than the groups at loggerheads today. If that isn't a thought to keep you staring at the ceiling, I don't know what is.

I don't see there being reconciliation.

I furthermore don't believe there has ever been harmony.

But I do think the division and strife has gotten worse.

Though there is pessimism, I do believe that the US can be prosperous and victorious in certain areas. Just depends on who our next president is.

Even in areas where I am skeptical, I'm still not going to give up.

I repeat. Our nation has truly never been so divided from a cultural standpoint. One coalition will win. Another will lose. The results will leave a permanent mark on the Republic.

I pray to God though that it does not erupt into violence.

If you guys want a laugh check out my political song I created based off Margaritaville....

I thought it said "Wasted in Margaritaville" lol...

On a serious note...I think some rascal presidents worldwide would like this election's top issues to be same sex marriages, the Trump wall, Bernie's bird or something equally silly so that they can strenghten their own positions...
