3. They are so anti science regarding climate change. The US is about to get hit with the zika virus.

The explosion of cases is partially because of climate change. They don't believe in the dangers of climate change or the importance of abortion when you know your child is going to be severely damaged. I'm saying I'd like to see them squirm now before a health care crisis in the US. Then, in a few months, once the danger is throughout the south try and explain their positions again. See if they can evolve when faced with a horrible, local and immediate crisis. I think their non responses would really wake up the south to the dangers of the Republican Party in their denial of the public good in fighting for the environment. The GOP cannot blame this zika virus crisis on the 'other'. What a horrid tragedy. But then we were warned climate change would bring one calamity after another. And here it is. A wake up in the south on climate change may mean that they vote to stop the next disaster. My point is how long will the GOP see it as a political issue vs a human one? I'd like to see the GOP candidates answer the question to show the public just who they are.
