So do we think that these 2 rullings this week Obamacare and Gay Marraige have any impact on the presidential race

Posted by eag (aka eag) Jun 26 '15, 09:47

One of the things im thinking is the next supreme court justice litmus test just went way up among other things. Can we pretty much pencil in Hilliary Clinton as next president at this point.

Responses:

I agree with the first sentence of your IM. Not sure about Sec. Clinton though. And Carly Fiorina could benefit with a carefully crafted message. -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Jun 26, 09:54
I think Obergefell makes gay marriage easier on the GOP. They can say "don't like it, but SCOTUS has ruled" - ty97 Jun 26, 09:53 5
- That's a good point. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 26, 10:09 3
  - The fine line they will have to walk (as Beaker alludes to) is how they get the party vote. My approach works fine for the general - ty97 Jun 26, 10:10 2
    - Like I said on an earlier post, Carly Fiorina may be the GOP candidate best able to make this decision work to her advantage. - ReluctantCynic Jun 26, 10:28
    - I expect we'll get a lot of veiled talk about activist judges. -- nm - Ender Jun 26, 10:14
- ha. the actual smart onesmay say that, the politically smart ones will play to the base and denounce it like poison -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 09:55
It gives the GOP hopefuls plenty of opportunity to sound stupid and hateful. -- nm - TWuG Jun 26, 09:53 2
- As if this wasn't the case 3 days ago? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 26, 09:56 1
  - There is a new floor to what is acceptable now that SSM has SCOTUS approval. - TWuG Jun 26, 10:01
They will be key, and no, we cannot pencil Hillary in as President. - Will Hunting Jun 26, 09:51 3
- Yeah, this is going to fire up the conservative base a lot more than the liberal base. -- nm - Ender Jun 26, 09:56 2
  - That's the trap. The people motivated to speak up are the ones the party doesn't want talking. -- nm - David Jun 26, 10:33
  - Yeah, the downside is given this is now a 65% support level for SSM in polls... - Will Hunting Jun 26, 09:58
