No it's not. But you have to consider the reality of giving your opponent a sound bite to use against you.

If I were running for president as a Democrat, I'd stay neutral about taxes, too. Raising them is easily turned against you. The right wing and corporate media would pound that drum endlessly.

Go forth and be your best self!

I’d rather have each of the provinces be a state. Control Senate, House, and electoral college.

It’s a pouch.

If CA demanded a separate state for each province, that could get interesting.

Hands are too big.

You nailed it.
