OK friends I found a really good site that lists all the candidates and their views on a whole range of issues. It also shows what their stances have been over the years. So you can see just how long ago their position has evolved.

If you go to the site linked below you can plug in any other candidates or click the blue highlighted area ( Other candidates) . I would bookmark this site for further reference as we go merrily down the lane. ~ Steve ~

Trump while speaking of McCain’s reputation as a war hero because he was captured in Vietnam said “I like people who weren’t captured.”
