But it is.

But it is. 

Would you vote for someone else with identical ideas as him?

I don't know.  Depends on the person.

So there could be something about the person outside of his/her positions that might influence your decision?  What could that be?

Their character, experience, integrity, etc.

Isn't that where the positions come from?

Can be from a variety of sources:  party platform/affiliation, life experience, personal convictions, faith, etc.

Could they come from acting as a puppet to financial backers?

Of course. 

So you'd be open to voting for someone with identical positions as Jeb Bush. 

Or didn't you mean to say that?

wow, that's unprecedented

many Republican on this board routinely argued that Obama wasn't a "real" black person (that didn't prevent them from all kinds of racist statements and pictures or suggest the only reason anyone voted for him was because he was black)

We really shouldn't take the CBCC (cry baby conservative club) too seriously.  Just give them a Reagan lolly pop and they will pipe down a bit.

If Rubio and Cruz did this on the campaign trail, and spoke with an accent, Ozmo would consider them genuinely Hispanic:

Both, because they are incredibly smart, accomplished, right on most of the issues, not afraid to take on the establishment, better than we have seen the last seven years, and better than Hillary.

Only thing they are missing is an authentic Cuban accent.

No problem.  Are you voting for Hillary if she is the nominee and if so why?

Im not sure...
Id rather Sanders tho. Hilary to just seems sleazy and slimy. Nothing to do with the Selective Outrage of Benghazi or some bullshit email scandal.
But she has a bunch of little lies on big issues that make up an untrustworthy candidate. Her stance on innercity crime cause effect and treatment was disgusting to me.
She didnt stick to her guns with Universal Healthcare. Its pretty bad

I hate Cruz tho... I only like Flat Tax idea... But the fact that he obstructed a bipartisan resolution to send $70mil in aid to Flint MI to help with the tainted water crisis... it was political bullshit... just sucked.

Rubio super politician... not sure if thats a good thing

"Cruz’s Senate office said late Thursday, Cruz has now reviewed the bill and will not prevent it from moving forward.

“He just needed the time to read the bill first before knowing what he was signing on to,” said Cruz spokesman Phil Novack."

I'm pretty disgusted, but we have been running crappy candidates for years already.
