> [@RTFirefly](#): > > If DrDeth wants to say in this thread that **he** won’t vote for Harris because he considers her to be a gun-grabber, it’s got some relevance to this thread, even if it’s just a single data point and doesn’t tell us that much. > > Or if he wants to say that the Dems will lose the election if they nominate Harris because **lots** of otherwise Dem voters wouldn’t vote for her on account of her gun-grabbing tendencies, that’s quite germane to this thread, and we can debate that… The 2020 election will be decided by how vigorously the candidate opposes the sacred 2nd Amendment.

This was a higher percentage than for Taxes or Income/Wealth Distribution, and way ahead of Trade Policy and Climate Change. > … In March 2018 … _ **a whopping 13%** of Americans said “Guns/Gun Control” was **“the most important problem facing the country today.”** _ We’re left to guess how many of these were pro- and how many anti- but … either way … Wow! _ **Thirteen percent!** _ > > I hope the D candidate can find some wishy-washy middle-ground, lulling the “moderate” gun nuts while not angering the gun-control nuts. > > - > - I’ve added emphasis to this earlier post. Is adding emphasis to one’s own posts permitted under the Dont-change-quote rule?
