I'm always all over the place with these

Rubio 77%
Sanders 66%
Christie 64%
Clinton 63%
Cruz 62%

(Very liberal on environmental and most social issues, conservative on immigration and foreign policy/national security, pretty moderate everywhere else. Right now I'm leaning towards voting Clinton. I like a lot of Republicans, but I don't want any in the white house.)

Though there's always questions I don't know what to do with, like:

"Should Wall Street executives be criminally charged for their roles in the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis?"

Well, ya, if the government can prove that particular individuals actually and personally committed crimes that existed at the time of their actions. Which is tricky to do with members of organizations. We shouldn't just decide we want to prosecute "wall street executives" and then desperately try to find some criminal statute that kind of fits. I think there's things you can do with the law and regulations to make executives more accountable for their actions, and make those actions more transparent, but you can't go backwards in time with criminal law.
