Who are you referring to?

(Edited to remove sarcasm. That wasn't really necessary.)



Pretty good summary here: http://reason.com/archives/2016/02/08/most-republican-presid...

The OP is probably referring to Sanders, but Trump has said let the states do whatever they vote for.


> but Trump has said let the states do whatever they vote for.

Not just that, but Trump supported marijuana legalization as far back as 1990. That was right around the height of the war on drugs, in between "Just Say No" of the Reagan years and the anti-drug, tough-on-crime propaganda of the Clinton years.

I can't really endorse pretty much anything else Trump says, but it really can't be overstated how rare it was for anyone to be standing up for marijuana legalization (publicly) 25 years ago.


He also seems to support single-payer healthcare, and has complimented the system in Scotland. Funny that GOP voters seem to give him a pass on all of the sort of issues that would kill other candidates' chances.


Source please? I ask because ontheissues.org only has one drug related quote from Trump from 1990. "Drug enforcement is a joke."

In oti's collection of quotes shows that he's personally anti-drug but believes it is a states issue.

I think they're referring to Bernie Sanders.
