The concept of rights is not difficult to understand. Rights come from ownership. If you own something, you have the right to do whatever you want with it as long as you don't violate someone else's property.

So if you own your body you have the right to say whatever you want, think whatever you want, eat whatever you want, smoke whatever you want, contract with whoever you want without needing permission from anyone. It means the money you own can not be taken away from you. It means your property can not be taken away from you. Any violations of these are violations of your rights.
 
I checked all of the boxes because any one of these by themselves would not necessarily preclude voting for the person, depending on the balance of their platform. In other words, no one item appears to be a deal breaker by itself.

That's certainly a fair, if unusual, answer.
