14. I'd support that came closer to supporting these 9 principles

Thu Apr 17, 2014, 08:38 PM

Apr 2014

Here's how I would rate the two candidates:

Hillary would probably support (at least tepidly) 1, 4, 5, 6 -- total of 4 out of 9.

Paul would probably support 1, 3, 4, and 9 a little. That's about 4 out of 9.

Really, we deserve better than that.
