Will Marijuana Be a "Key Issue" for Republicans in 2016?
Color me skeptical. Marijuana Law, Policy & Reform has a link to this story: GOP strategist highlights why "marijuana law reform could be a key issue" for Republicans in 2016.
I'm all for legalization -- and I believe that it's fully in accord with traditional Republican values -- but on the cosmic scale of issues that Republicans are going to run on in 2016 -- the ones they used to crush Democrats in 2014 -- marijuana seems well down the list. If Hillary Clinton (or whoever turns out to be the eventual nominee) comes out in favor of legalization, the GOP might have to think about a response.
After all, if 2016 is Bush v. Clinton II, Jeb can point out that he, at least, knows what it's like to inhale.
