It is strange that the GOP leaders are fine with trillions to bale out large corporations (Eek! Socialism!) but find it wrong to buy out student debt and provide health care to everyone. 32/40

3) MILITARY IS GOOD: Our oversized military in undeclared wars have killed many, angered more and made us less secure. 33/40

4) RIGHT TO LIFE: Ironically (or not) same ppl who rail about intent of Framers of Constitution do not care that abortion was legal when the Constitution was written, as Justice Blackmun noted in Roe v Wade, 410 U.S. at 129-30. 34/40

Reduce abortions: make contraceptives easily available & @ no cost, support health care 4 all, and sex ed’n in schools. AND: these female candidates cannot speak because in the days of the “founders” women had no rights. 35/40

5) FREE MARKET IS A PANACEA: We have had free market economies in our history. They result in monopolies and oligopolies. There is a balance that must be maintained and going to either extreme does not cut it. 36/40

6) tRUMP: This “town hall” is beng held without an audience because of the coronavirus, COVID-19. The current occupant of the Oval Office has demonstrated his ineptitude as a leader in the face of this pandemic. 37/40

A legitimate fear: the elections will not occur in November & the would-be dictator takes full control. That is the const’l crisis we face. GOP has to be taken back from the majority that jacked it a few years ago. 38/40

Mark, best wishes in bringing your progressive Republican views to the stage tonight. I count 12 of your 13 competitors as being Trumpy/Trumpy-lite, as they appear obsessed w/guns & stopping women from having control of their bodies. Your approach to Republicanism is welcome.
