Honestly I know nothing about him, but if he has to vote as the DNC requires him to do, it wouldn't matter if he were Barry Goldwater. That's my point. The man/woman's personal position is irrelevant. The likes or dislikes of their constituents is unimportant. Virtually all our congressional representatives vote what the parties dictate.
I'm sure many of our younger posters would be surprised that 50 years ago a vote may have looked like this:
FOR: 200 (R-90 D-110). AGAINST: 180 (R-95 D-85)
But you'll never see that again.
Is that why Republicans now hate Mccain? He won't vote party lines?

Unfortunately, it's my perception a democrat in Congress doesn't have the opportunity to vote his will, or those of his constituents. You lockstep with the party. A practice the Republicans are trying to emulate. Essentially, the DNC & RNC decide what's important to the folks of Texas, New York, and Kansas. Not a situation I care for.
But you have no particular dislike of the individual, other than maybe his stance on abortion?

Jones actually seems like a pretty good choice. Looks like a fairly conservative(or at least moderate) Democrat.

He was banned from a mall for harrassing teenagers.

But you guys do agree that the slide stock is a dumb idea?
-
These things were created and patented in 2010. The ATF didnt approve anything. Because it is not a firearm, they refused to act. Like silencers, it takes a tragedy to realize how dumb the idea really is. Even the NRA is scared of this thing.

What the heck are these "bump stocks"? If you want one, better get it now. Those things need to go. I can't see any possible use for them.

Dems who don't vote the party line risk finding their names in the obituaries. For a party against capital punishment, I find that very strange.

I don't know the qualifications or disqualifications of his opponent. If he is running against a Liberal, then yes he should in win in a landside even if he is deemed mentally insane..the lesser of two mentally incompetences. The last presidential race should have open every ones eyes to that...but sadly some remain closed.
Trump openly supports the other guy.
