Everyone thought hillary would win. Obama comes out of the blue from nowhere and swedes everything away. He with two terms. Leave it to the democrats to come up with someone on the left of Hillary Clinton. Host which is what we talked about yesterday. Think the Democratic Party has a lot of the same internal divisions but the democrats are more cohesive. They are poised to run for president on the democratic side that tend to be, if you look at haveon and warren, probably a lot more support within the wings of the party than the republicans do and the republican field is a little more unsettled. Really near the end of his second term, and i mean in the final year as the up, the issue is does hillary run or not. If she does not, it is probably a wideopen yield on their spot. And you the presidency, have a political figure that at least appears to be a consensus candidate at this time. It is different for republicans are now. They have been out of power for a while. They have not had imm
Certain citizens. And here when youve got citizens who have a liberty interest, their marriage already their marriage is done, children,e now got and those children deserve to have two parents and the state is now saying because of our commitment to democracy, were say no to you, and were just going to wait for you to come up with 7 million and reverse our constitutional amendment.

White antiabortion issues benefited from black conservative faces to further their cause. The case for same sex marriage, however, did not fare as well African American slowly becoming more accepting of same sex marriage. I black conservatives simply tools of the larger way conservative organizations . Perhaps they are. Perhaps not. But it is clear for the leadership that the two issues like value voters, essential marriage, and white marches bond like minded people of all ethnicities.
