If nothing else, Graham's straightforward rebuke of Rubio is another piece of evidence in favor of the idea that most mainstream conservatives don't believe that their faction's leading candidate is ready to be president.

So when did Sanders first support gay marriage publicly? Not gay rights or civil unions, but gay marriage? The first I can find of him doing so is 2009.

What does this have to do with me? I don't support Sanders. But could one of our resident Sandernistas do us a favor and find something about this?

2009 and 2013 are worlds away in the progress of gay marriage support. The person that supports gay marriage when public support is in the high 30s deserves more recognition on the issue than the person that supports gay marriage only after a majority are in favor.

It's almost like Clinton was doing something from 2009-2013 that precluded her from making controversial statements regarding domestic policy........

Problem is, she was also against same-sex marriage during her 2008 campaign, as was Barack Obama.

Are endorsements by Iowa Senators Ernst and Grassley to be expected before the caucus, or not?

Which doesn't really phase me. It's nice that Bernie came out for SSM before Hillary, but it's a lot easier to do that being from Vermont, with no real national ambitions, than to do so from the position(s) Hillary has been in.

So do we prefer the politician who is open about his views even when they're unpopular or the politician who chooses what she does and doesn't say based off of whether doing so is politically advantageous?

Do you understand the notion that Cabinet Secretaries, especially the Secretary of State, are not supposed to weigh in with their own opinions on domestic policy issues?
