This is never a referendum. Presidential elections, by the time they run around, is always, 'well, who do you like slightly better than the two you don't like?' So it is a binary choice.

This is really, really bad. What they’re saying is, if you criticize the president of the United States, as an elected member of Congress, we will silence you.

The culture wars? I've got to tell you, this time around, bring it, because I think that Democrats want to talk about abortion, and they want to talk about guns.
