The vast majority of voters choose their candidate on a single issue, that's the way it's always been and likely always will be
Given that pretty much every single Republican candidate is all too eager to take away my reproductive rights, as a woman, you're damn right I'll vote on that singular issue. Also because a GOP candidate would likely do his best to go back on all of the progress this country has made for the LGBTQ community. This country still needs to move forward, not back. We don't need more "religious freedom" bills.

The only GOP candidate that doesn't terrify me is Marco Rubio. I don't love the guy, but I could tolerate him. Jeb Bush is just another Bush, Rand Paul is an idiot who got where he is because of his father's pull with Libertarians, and Scott Walker has obliterated Wisconson's economy and I'd like to not allow him to do the same to the country as a whole.

So yeah, Hillary is far from the best option, but if it's her or one of those stooges, I'll vote Hillary every single time.

This is a huge sticking point. The SCOTUS is already overly conservative, we don't need to add 3-4 more conservative Justices, this country will fall back to the 50s in no time.
