(3,891 posts)I voted none because we have a bad habit of beating a dead horse until it is nothing but dust pounded into the ground. Then we've lost the public support and then we suffer in the elections.
Remember Sandy Hook? A poll said 95% supported background checks. At that point the most dangerous place to be was standing between a Democrat and a camera because everyone wanted to be on the record, every single day shouting about the poll and the 95% support. By the time the vote was held it wasn't near that anymore. We had driven it down by trampling it to death.
How about 2014? Our candidates mention the war on women if someone asked them what time it was. Another meme we had led on we bashed the voters with until they rejected the argument. Make the point and walk away.
We are already in danger of losing this one. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2015/03/09/voters-skeptical-on-iran-nuclear-deal-poll-finds/
75% of the people in that poll are wary about negotiating with Iran. Two years ago a majority supported negotiations. Prosecuting, Censureing, or screaming that the Republicans are traitors risks losing more public support. It's on our side now, in another week it will be on theirs unless we turn out backs on it.
