But you have already established you are a single issue voter. Imagine you have two candidates and agree with one of them on 50% of things and agree with the other on only 80% of things. If you choose the 50% over the 80% because somewhere in that 20% is a single issue you feel very strongly about, then you are a single issue voter.

Middle candidates are not supported by single issue voters because most single issue topics are roughly split 50/50 in support so they propose compromise.

Suffer Well.

These statements and positions mean essentially nothing.

Obama was pro-gun control. What's the net result of his impact on gun laws over 8 years and countless massacres?

My cousin-in-law, lifelong conservative, recently terminated from the closing Lordstown GM plant in Youngstown OH, was pro-Trump, anti-Kasich, because Kasich cut funding in a way that affected his wife's job.

It always comes down to who hits you in the wallet, doesn't it? I wonder where he stands on Trump these days.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

The problem with that there are a lot of single issue voters.

environment
abortion
healthcare
education
taxes
gun control

Lots people have a single issue so people who have compromised all those issues are going to have a problem getting elected.

That was my point above. A lot of people feel that they are moderate and many of them are on most issues, but not on all issues. The most black and white are taxes, abortion, gun control and LGBT rights. Education, healthcare and environment have their extremists, but they allow for a middle road that many can buy into.

So, gun control would be your only, or 1 problem with this ticket?
I may, or may not agree with JB's gun control proposal(s), but that would be why I would consider him a "middle candidate".

I'd be interested in your idea of a "middle POTUS candidate".

Well as Obama's Gun Czar, he did try to pass about 10 initiatives that would have not brought down murders. I would hard call that middle of the road on gun control. Off course there are those who want to remove all guns, tax bullets at 50%, etc so perhaps it is not extreme left.

I feel like leaving the issue up to the states is a pretty middle of the road stance.

Does any politician actually have a policy to take away all guns?

some of these quotes sure make it sound like some do.

“I think you have to do it a step at a time and I think that is what the NRA is most concerned about. Is that it will happen one very small step at a time so that by the time, um, people have woken up, quote, to what’s happened, it’s gone farther than what they feel the consensus of American citizens would be. But it does have to go one step at a time and the banning of semiassault military weapons that are military weapons, not household weapons, is the first step.” Mayor Barbara Fass, Stockton, CA
