What do you make of that . Its a little bit odd, but i would just tell you that i think of all the things facing this country right now and after being through this primary for a year i can assure you that that particular issue is not going to move the electorate. People are comparing Hillary Clinton, career politician, someone who has made millions of dollars on politics, guy who has never run for public office, a business guy, who is a total outsider that is going to cause an earthquake in washington, thats really the issue that is on the ballot.
