I'm one of a host of people I know that feel boxed out by the Democrat party and feel forced to vote against them in all scenarios even when I may like one of their candidates specifically because they've gone far, far too left on social issues. I supported Donnelly last time around, but because of how aggressively left socially the Democrats have gone, there's little to no chance I'll vote for him this time even though he's more centrist than the rest of his party at a national level seems to be.

Limited Sunday hours and no expand of cold beer cements idea that legislature is the puppet of high $ donors at the expense of citizens.

You should have included questions about the media.

Indiana’s failure to pass a hate crimes law is bad enough, but the failure to pass it because of sexual identity inclusion is appalling. The GA is embarrassing to those of us who fight for ALL Hoosiers.

I am a boring old agnostic Chamber of Commerce Republican which makes me a flaming liberal in this climate. Wish I could get back to voting for sane moderates of both parties but looks like it is a straight Democratic ticket for the forseeable future.
