Well, as I've said before, I'm going with Trump, since I like a guy who says what he thinks and thinks what he says. No more of the usual political tango. Give an outside guy a chance for a change. He's a savvy businessman. Perhaps he's a bit naive thinking all will fall in line so easily, but we could do with a little optimism these days.

I really like Rubio, but he comes across kinda "green."  He'll probably do better next time.

I also liked Jeb & Christie, but they seem to be the same "establishment" candidates we always get.

Cruz & Carson, seem like good guys, but they don't really impress me for whatever reason.

Kasich is basically a moderate and would just be giving Hillary the election. A moderate has never beaten a Lib for Pres.

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!

This election is going to be so bad. WE can't have Trump or Hillary in the running. They are just no good.

There is only ONE CLEAR CHOICE - Donald J. Trump - and I say that because he's not a CAREER POLITICIAN like all the others!!!  As for the Demorats  - well, let's face it HITLERY is a KILLER (remember BENGHAZI) and Sanders is a FOOL!!!!

The debates are not really debates. Debates would be interesting and thought provoking and provide some insight about the candidate you're hopeful for.

What we get to view is a Punch and Judy puppet show with everyone beating each other up. It would be nice to see some respect between the candidates since they are in the same party.  :highfive: How about stating your policies and how you will conduct yourself as president? Hmmm?

Trump has made people aware of some big problems and inspired debate, but he seems to take pride in belittling people instead of giving us his plan for making America great again. His bullying only seems to get stronger as he senses threat from another candidate.  >:(

Before you commit to him, size up how he treats women, minorities, the disabled, people who badmouth him the same way he does others.  :-\ Just make an honest decision instead of only a vote for change. We got change with our last president and I'd like his sort of change to stop.

I am still trying to decide  who in the Republican i am going to vote for.  I have always voted ever since I turned 21 (that used to be the voting age)I  take it back I missed one.  Having a baby and no way to go vote.  I will be 73 so guess that is a good record. There has been a couple of times I voted democrat for President. But I did not vote for Obama nor Clinton and I sure don't plan to vote for her either I think she is as crooked as the day is long and so is Bill Clinton with all of the crud they pulled. As for Sanders he is just down right scary and the young people all  they are hearing is free, free and so forth. I am hearing from him is you gonna pay for it all.

Voting for the person you think will be a politician who tell people what they want to hear.  Not one has ever followed up what they promise while campaigning.  You stick your hand in a bucket to see what politicians name you draw.  The point I am making, that no matter who you vote for is not working for the people, they are working to see how high rank wise they climb the ladder to reach their goal.  People be damn are their thoughts.

They definitely all have flaws, and again it's another "lesser evil" vote. Then again, it always has been, hasn't it?

I'll be voting for Bernie Sanders in the primaries, but if he doesn't get the nomination I won't be voting come election day.

In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard's vote.”

if most people think Hillary is bad news, and I know most people realize this, she will not get to be president.
most people know she has hidden ugly motives.
Sanders seems to have enough edge to beat her.

every election is like a circus. ....a few decent people have been elected in the past......Jimmy Carter; Ronald Reagan.
I read something about Johnson; what bad things he did behind the scenes.
We see all the glamour of public appearances and we are suppose to base our decisions on all that glamour.
It is hard to do and a definite challenge every four years.

I'm not worried .. but like many have stated .. It may be a case of picking the lesser of 2 evils.
