    Pretty simple. Come out and say you intend to make marijuana legal nationwide... all the pot users would vote for that person. Hillary will probably make it legal anyway no, not because she's a liberal but because tens of millions of people cannot be wrong.

    The only other thing I am mentioning again is raising Corporate taxes. I know the cost will go to the consumer but the money goes to unscrewing ourselves.

    Legalizing marijuana I am totally behind. Raising corporate taxes will only drive more inversions and drive more jobs away. We need more taxPAYERS, not more taxes.

    The cost of living and the cost of labor in this country is driving 'corporations' away. Corporations don't pay taxes, their consumers do, and no corporate entity pays the maximum percentage in corporate taxes. The best government corporate money can buy has created a tax code that keeps them from it. Any money they have taken from consumers by the conspirators in this equation, is pocketed by management, and redirected back to the sock puppet politicians that make it so.

    The Religious Right would bolt the GOP...or atleast "stay home" and let that Nominee lose.

    It's why Rand Paul is so "suspected" by them and won't win the Nomination in 2016.

    The platform will be the usual: lower taxes and get tougher on immigration/criminals/drugs/etc.

    The reality is that the GOP-led Congress will likely work against the White House at every stop.

    Hillary doesn't have the power to decriminalize pot unless she issues an executive order. I can't seeing her doing that just for a drug.

    I think that the public is becoming concerned with the increasing concentration of wealth, and that there will be less 'trickle down' or corporate-friendly rhetoric this time around. I think that the big issues like gay marriage, abortion, etc. are no longer as controversial and the focus will shift more to jobs, foreign affairs and the economy.
