I would strongly suggest that the GOP abandon social issues, focus aggressively on economy

The time has come for the Republican Party to stop talking about gay marriage, abortion and marijuana.

Gay marriage is the law of the land. Yes, the lifestyle may be inappropriate, but there is NOTHING Republicans can do to to change this.

GAY MARRIAGE IS THE LAW OF THE LAND. GET OVER IT NOW.

Stop talking about abortion so much, women voters are really sensitive.

The GOP's path to an electoral majority in the 2010s and 2020s and 2030s: jobs, jobs, jobs, immigration, policing, education.

Laser on the economy. JOBS, JOBS, JOBS.

-Do I have money to put food on the table?
-Do I have a good job?
-Is my taxes affordable?
-Can I buy a home?
-Can I pay my utility bill?
-Can I pay my car insurance?
-Do I have money to take a trip to NY or STL, or LA?
-Does my children have access to an 21st century education?
-Are my streets safe?
-Do I have healthcare?
-Is America safe than it was on 9/11/2001?
-Is America's military strong and smart?
-Is America's moral value of respect and family in tact?


JOBS. Stop with gay marriage. Stop.

Yeah I bet you'd like the GOP to surrender its opposition to your view on your pet social issues.

Forget it.

Agreed, mostly, but that fact that the GOP isn’t taking the lead on the inevitable legalization of marijuana is flabbergasting.

NO.

I'm saying that the Supreme Court said in June 2015, same-sex marriage is the law of the land.

Do you understand? Do you understand?

It's over. The GOP should stop talking about it. Period. Talk about jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs.

The GOP talking about same-sex marriage is a losing issue.

It is a losing issue.

The GOP should be all on board with promoting civil liberty, but they’re letting liberals lead the way in pot. Dumb.

So you want the GOP to become Dems who are more conservative on the economy?

How does "civil liberty" = Pot use? Granted, it's a component, but a focus??? Why?

Gay marriage is the law of the land.

I don't think there is nothing that can be done about it anymore.

Focus on jobs, jobs, jobs. Why isn't there a second tax-cut in Congress?

It is a civil liberty. The government should not be in the business of criminalizing the ingestion of a plant. It’s stupid, plain and simple.

I guess I can understand the stance on abortion still, but it baffles me that anyone is still anti gay marriage in 2018.

Let it go

Mike Pence and his bigot friends who control Trump and the WH say for you to GTFO.

Obama failed massively on pot. I’m not talking about presidents.
