When it all said and done and the bullshit clears this is what the bottom line for me will be:
1. What is their stance on Radical Islamist and the threat to the U.S.

Agree with you 100% here.  If they really want to go get the Radical Islamists they'll head straight into Saudi Arabia, not Iran.  They'll analyze intel objectively and without an agenda fashioned by corporate America.

2. What are they going to do about border security and the rampant problem with illegal immigration.

Just what they've done about it for the last 50 years.  Let the immigrants keep pouring in and count their savings on nannies, landscaping, construction, etc. costs.

3. What kind of man or woman would they put on the Supreme Court (aka Row vs. Wade stance)

Roe v Wade you mean?  Yep, still a one-issue party.  Let's mandate local issues at the federal level. 

4. How do they feel about socialized medicine

How do they feel about every citizen having access to the same health care programs they receive as elected federal officials?

5. Do they want to raise taxes on the evil rich

Why is it always positioned as raising taxes on the rich.  How about restructuring the tax code so the top 1% pays their fair share?
