    Pretty simple, really. He has his own religious convictions and beliefs by which he abides on a daily basis. He recognizes that separation of church and state is paramount to the success of a free nation. Therefore, he chooses not to pursue legislation that would make his religious convictions and beliefs federal law and, thus, oppress citizens who do not share his religious convictions and beliefs.

    Breaking this part out for YF ... Golly!!!

    Unlike Altman, I have absolutely no medical expertise, but I covered Reagan as the White House correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, and have a different recollection concerning the views of key Reagan aides. By early 1987, several top White House advisers were so concerned about Reagan’s mental state that they actually talked among themselves about invoking the Twenty-fifth Amendment of the Constitution, which calls for the Vice-President to take over in the event of the President’s incapacity.

    As described in a 1988 book I co-authored with Doyle McManus, “Landslide: The Unmaking of the President,” by March 1, 1987, Reagan was suffering both politically and personally from the fallout of the Iran-Contra scandal. Howard Baker, his third chief of staff, was just about to take over from Don Regan, whom Nancy Reagan had helped to dispatch, and the senior staff was in turmoil. Before taking command of the situation, Baker asked his trusted aide James Cannon, who had been the domestic-policy adviser to Gerald Ford, to put together a confidential report on what had gone wrong inside the White House. One by one, Cannon had called in the top White House aides and debriefed them. What Cannon learned floored him.

    As Cannon summarized his findings, on the record, in our book, “They told stories about how inattentive and inept the president was. He was lazy; he wasn’t interested in the job. They said he wouldn’t read the papers they gave him—even short position papers and documents. They said he wouldn’t come over to work—all he wanted to do was to watch movies and television at the residence.”

    Surely Sunshine can understand the splitting of allegiances there based on the many GOP politicians who are pro-life at work and pro-choice in their mistress' home.

    Or he's learned to be OK with murdering babies in order to advance his political career.

    Flip sides of the same coin, really.

    He's fine with dead babies at work, but he fancies the little buggers at home.

    My only comment was a number above 50 is high at this point.

    So it should have been easy to come up with a candidate who wouldn't get pummeled in the election, right?

    Well, get on out there and do something about all those murdered babies. It's not that hard to get your hands on a gun.

    Unless you don't really believe it all that much.

    Kaine can recognize the separation of church and state without actively participating in the promotion of a barbaric activity antithetical to his supposed beloved faith. Seems to me he's trying to have it both ways -- at the expense of hundreds of thousands of dead babies.

    Morning Joe has turned into morning schmoe. He is so concerned with the Republican elite blaming him for the rise of trump that he is now going out of his way unwind it
