I don't. However it seems to be an issue with him for some reason. Throd Feb 2015 #37

yes "an issue" thanks for proving my point! VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #49

You don't get to decide for others what is "an" issue and what is "THE" issue. Throd Feb 2015 #51

No. It's about quality leadership and choosing to lead appropriately. Marching lockstep is a GOP think Feb 2015 #50

Its about an election we call our PRIMARY...where WE decide what that is... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #63
