I came away from the debate more convinced than ever that if any of these nutjobs becomes President, it would have disastrous consequences for America. The next President will likely get to make at least three Supreme Court appointments. If that person is a Republican, all the progress that's been made since the 1950's (the pinnacle of American civilization in the right-wing bizarro world) to secure the constitutional rights of women, minorities, and gay people would be in serious jeopardy. Roe v Wade would be history, and women would be relegated to the status of incubators for the state. All of the Repube candidates are hardcore regressives, and several of them (Rubio, Cruz, Carson, and Kasich) are almost certain to steer America down the dangerous path to becoming a quasi-theocracy. I have never seen a party put up a scarier bunch of candidates in my lifetime. If one of them becomes President, it'll take 20 years for the next Democratic President to straighten out the mess that will inevitably result. We simply can't allow that to happen.
