I don't know about the rest of you, but I am vey concerned about the upcoming election. I have yet to get clear guidance as to who to vote for. I am paying attention to all candidates and hoping for the best. Am I the only one?
-
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.
-
I cannot believe some of the clowns that are running. I will be voting until the end, just wish it was clearer who to vote for.
-
Most of the candidates I don't like them but still votes till the end.
-
I've been watching the debates of both parties but I haven't made up my mind who to vote for.It's still too early for me to decide.I'm an independent and won't vote in the primary,so I won't pick my candidate until after the conventions.
-
No I'm not worried, so sense in worrying......
-
I have never been so disappointed in our choices. A couple of them speak a good message, but when you look into their histories, and voting record, and their donaters, I lose heart.
The phoniness this time around is disheartening. Maybe for the first time (I am 72), I won't vote.
The "lesser of two evils" is still evil. I just am not sure. But I become part of the problem when I don't vote.
I take the right to vote seriously......but it is indeed a circus, and they sound like a bunch of silly angry kids, thowing personal barbs that are appalling for the highest office. We are un-done.

There isn't anyone worth voting for

I think the Republicans are a disgrace with all the mud slinging going on! When you watch the Democratic debates you don't see anything like that going on. Now when I watch the Republican debates I get myself a big bowl of popcorn and sit back and laugh. With Trump in there it's nothing but a joke!

Voting is bull crap anyway. So i still vote. Who ever buys off the electoral collage gets to be president. Far????? so if someone has more money than me they can just buy there way to elect a president that will give them more money.
-
I've already received my ballot and mailed it back. :D
-
I'm concerned about the candidates too. When they make promises to get us to like them, and then we voted for them and they didn't follow through. What are we supposed to do. Guess all we can do is pray. Things have to get better.
-
Is Bernie Sanders running for 4th grade class president or the President of the United States? It's comical to listen to him speak.
-
I am really scared for this nation. I can't believe the people that seem to be taken the most seriously. The office of President of the United States is the most important job in the world. I can't believe the people that we are willing to entrust our future to.
-
No...it's rough! All I know is our country is toast if Hillary takes over!
-
I agree you have to go with the person you feel you like the best
-
I know who I am voting for shhhhh 8)
-
looks like Hillary vs Donald Trump

I agree with you. Listening to folks talk about how concerned they are and they don't know who to vote for should tell the candidates something. No one is speaking on the issues, they are simply attacking one another like children on the playground. Bullying is not an attractive quality.

And since that has never happened, what's your point?
-
I think the moderators should take some responsibility for these clownish debates. They instigate arguments between the candidates to turn the debates into a side show. Disgraceful.
-
this is the easiest election just because it has a non politician in there. finally a chance that someone won't lie 8)

People should have been more concerned 8 years ago.
-
The only issue i have is who to really vote for because it seems like there all going out full force to get your vote saying whatever it takes
-
At this point u should only consider Trump, Hillary, or Bernie in the election... Ted Cruz, Rubio, and the rest of the RNC can't touch where Trump is at now... So it is either Trump vs Hillary or Bernie... Hillary might get indicted due to her email scandal (not sure when or if she will be indicted).. These are the only candidates to research and pick
-
All the elections have flaws. It's always been "who is the lesser of 2 evils?" It'll be interesting if the presidential elections came down to Clinton vs. Trump.
-
I'm thinking it will be Hillery vs. 'The' Donald. I think both of them don't deserve to be president, but I'm afraid that's what our options will be.
-
It's somewhat embarrassing to see that this is the best America has to offer up for candidates for our President. Just shows how low we have become. Republican or Democrats, they are all owned by corporations... some one is backing them & paying for them to run for office. No longer for the people, that is for sure.
-
What you really need to do is look at how people from other countries perceive these candidates. They really have a different perspective on things that might help influence your selection because, in the end, it also affects them as well.
-
Sometimes I feel more like I'm voting against someone else rather than voting than someone I truly believe in as a candidate. You can sure bet I'll be voting against Donald Trump if he ends up the Republican choice. I can't say I'm really excited or vested in this election much further than that though.
-
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.
-
the republican party is getting to be a joke with trump being thejoker. If he get in we are all in big tgrouble I freally donot want tovote
-
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 was more concerned last year, than this year!
-
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.

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.”

I hate to say it ... but Donald Thump is the President
-
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.
