The ones I mostly agree with are owning guns (though with restrictions that are enforced) and securing the boarder (though not with a wall and draconian policy, and is focused more on immigration reform). And also eminent domain in most cases, with few exceptions being allowed and lavish compensation granted when it must be used.

I say let the immigrants flood in. In any case I voted only for eminent domain and guns as they pertain to an individual's liberties.

Everything I support except for marriage and Healthcare and an aspect of abortion.

I think marriage should be universal among all the sexes and it's also a religious Institution which should be left up to the churches. Civil unions available for those non-religious with all the benefits of marriage that the government provides.

Healthcare is something that can be met part way. Universal Health Care would be acceptable only if it's done right, and not at the expense of one group over another group. Otherwise I would keep it private until a workable plan comes to fruition.

I think abortion should be outlawed once the nervous system is developed and active in the fetus.

For the most part, I agree. Keep the criminals out, but we need people who aren't lazy to fill the jobs our lazy won't take. And we also need people educated enough to fill our jobs our poorly educated can't fill.

Why would their lazy over our lazy fill in those positions? I'd think neither would bother. And so what if some have a criminal record? I don't think all types of crimes should exclude someone. Sure, I can think of examples otherwise that it could be argued but that would be based on a "but they might!". Does someone loose the right to move when they are convicted of a crime but already did their time? Criminals who are actively commiting crime as a living, are another matter i nwhich of course they can't when under investigation or awaiting trial or whatever.

But Trump loves the poorly educated!

True, "criminal record" does need more specifically defined. A history but nothing recent, depending on the crime(s), it would have to be evaluated. A life of being in-and-out of jail with no indications of change, probably not. The violent and thieves definitely not. A 30-year-old who was caught shop lifting one time18 years ago, probably not going to be an issue.

From top to bottom I voted 2, 3, 4 and 9. As per the other poll a lack of vote is due to lack of details or disagreement over scope. For example I support the death penalty for mass murders. For single case murders my support is based on motive and method. The only one I oppose is "Healthcare should be Privately owned". I support a mixed system of private, public and charity.
