Who's the blonde on the left running with her?

I agree with much of it.  I think there are parallels.  The big difference is the 60's was about things that could go away.  The Vietnam War, and institutionalized racism.  Both of these are long gone.  Yes, we still have racism, but it is not backed by institutions any longer.  Our issues today are more complicated, and germane to our existence as a country.  Communism/socialism vs Capitalism.  Free speech vs PC thought control, etc.  These are issues now ingrained on our youth as positive traits for America, polarly opposite to the Constitution.

Will the Constitution matter in a post Hillary Presidential election?

No, everyone wants equal opportunities.  But if you think that the opportunities seen by an impoverished person from Appalachia are the same as a middle class resident of one of the surrounding metropoles, I disagree.

But if you place a middle class person from the surrounding area deep into Appalachia, the opportunities equalize and in some cases benefit the local more than the newcomer.  The point being, most poor people are poor due to poor choices made in life.  Remaining in an area without opportunity and bellyaching about lack of opportunity can be remedied by packing up and moving.

This is a simple thing.  The US spends more per capita on medical care than any of the industrialized nation.  Yet we still see poorer outcomes nearly across the board.  We spending more and getting less.  I don't care if the cat is black or white, I only care if it catches mice.

That all sounds peachy as long as you leave out the fundamental and structural problems of health systems in places like the UK.

Are American patients being "parked" in closets and hallways for days, being forced to sleeping chairs or on the floors, or denied access to water or oxygen in our hospitals?

Are Americans being denied hip replacements because of budget cuts, or being made to wait 6-12 months for "elective" surgeries?  Are Americans SOL if they need a doctor after 5:00 pm like they are in the UK, which has a fraction of the emergency facilities that we have here? 

Anyway, pip pip. Cherio. Carry on. Long live the Queen.

Hey, what's this thing do?

But it wasn't a Cirrus.

Jeff, did you ever get an answer to this question?

This has been asked and answered already - Ronald Reagan, inarguably the most impactful conservative leader in American history, would not pass this 'test' since he did not 'passionately advocate conservative positions when not running for office'.  He was campaigning for Governor of CA when he gave the Time for Choosing speech - and had been a Democrat previously. 

Trump has used plain language to explain his previous monetary support for candidates on BOTH side of the spectrum and it makes total sense to anyone who has run a business, let alone a large concern where government interference and oversight is arguably more intrusive and open to abuse than many (real estate development/banking).  Anyone not accepting that is simply not listening with an open mind IMO.

Does anyobody recall Trump nearly getting into the mix before now?  Started in 1988 friends, there was a draft Trump movement within the Republican party.  He almost ran as a Reform Party/Independent in 2000, and as a Republican in 2012.  None of these are Democrat, even Reform Party was Center/Right.

It is a total bullshit strawman because it limits the timeframe/frame of reference in such a way as to 'theoretically' only favor one answer and as pointed out, not even Reagan would pass given the restrictions on timeframe.

I may shed a tear.

Bring your liberal/progressive friends so we can shred them.   

That's not socialism, that's being smart.  Socialism is the centralization of an economy and its production.  Armies, police and fire by necessity fall under the control of government, that isn't socialism and we won't let you redefine the term to make it seem innocuous.   Health care, food production, energy production, manufacturing and pretty much everything else are best left to markets, where the weak producers fall by the wayside and the successful are rewarded. There are example after example of socialist failures throughout history and even in modern times.

Also, things like National Defense and interstate commerce were signed off on by the states in the Constitution.  We accepted those things for the greater good, and because it makes sense.  That other socialist crap doesn't and was NOT AGREED TO by the states.  Remember, we are a collection of states first, not the Oligarchy we've become.

Steingar doesn't understand the Constitution, nor the basic concepts of our country.  He's been brainwashed by his cultural bias, and the faculty lounge.
