Then I guess we are not 90% in favor of the new gun laws because most
of the people in Congress know the voters would crucify them if they
passed them. That is why we have these executive actions ... from a

I still remember him telling Putin that.

Nope, you also have abortion and gays.
Beyond that they all seem to blur into a version of the Bushes. They
may campaign differently but once they get into office they conform.

The only real exceptions this time are Trump and Sanders and they are
both scary in their own right.
