It has become a joke.
-
A HUGE joke! There isn't anyone in either party that I would waste my vote on!
-
I think the Democratic candidates are doing a pretty serious job of pointing out where they stand on issues and how they differ from one another, info that I need to make a decent decision. But I can't figure out where the Republicans stand on anything, there is so much insult and nonsense going on among them instead of espousing positions on issues.

Sad but true! Ever since Donald Trump announced he was running, it hasn't been the same.
-
Heard that Jeb Bush was going to talk to the 3 candidates not Trump today but i'll bet its about Trump
-
Yea a total joke, it doesn't matter who people vote for the government will choicewho they want anyways....
-
lot of drama but not many solutions on problems like debt jobs and security.
-
The elections are rude
-
Its a circus!

To those of you who won't vote because you feel you are making a statement by not doing so, remember that your not voting is a vote for the person you would rather not have in office. :bad:
Of course you have the right to not vote if you so choose, but it really doesn't pay to not vote. It's a privilege that we have in our country that many have given their lives for. :peace:

I wonder if any will drop out after today's results.

I hope you're not depending on the media to let you know where they stand. It's constant Trump. What you need to do is go to the websites of the various candidates and learn what they stand for an against....
There is also a website called On The Issues which breaks down everything that's important, like Abortion, Immigration, Education, Trade, the Economy, etc. It's a very neutral site. I go there a lot for info. Also, on that site, there are links under each heading that you can read their quotes and what they said in the past and what they want in the future.
Have fun with that site. My guy isn't winning and it's all because of the media not paying attention to the "lower" guys from the beginning. Outrageous remarks made the news and you know who they came from all the time.

At least the chaos surrounding the current Presidential candidates is giving President Obama a break. I was getting tired of people finding something "wrong" with our current president when I'm confident that he's doing his best.
:heart:

Trump is not personal choice, but if it comes right down to it I will vote for him instead of Hillary or Sanders. Hillary is a lier and has been for years. Even before Clinton was president. And as for Sanders he is down right scary. I believe he would completely break our country which is dang close right now to going down the toilet. If you don't vote then it could very well be a vote for someone you don't want in office.
-
If you don't vote; I believe you have no right to say anything about what is going on in this country! A vote is a way to voice your opinion!

It seems there is finally something democrats and many republicans finally agree on Trump is scary. Hillary is no more a liar than any other Politian (weapons of mass destruction anyone?) and compared to Trump well. I would have loved to have seen Joe Biden or Elizabeth Warren run but I will take Hillary (or Sanders) over Trump (or Cruz) any day.

When former President Bush made the statement about WMD's in Iraq, that was done through faulty intelligence and incorrect deductions made from the intelligence it did have; hardly a deliberate lie. Many politicians during that time (both Republican and Democrat) ascertained that after Hussein kicked out the UN inspectors (the inspections setup by then President Clinton), that he still had stockpiles of WMDs and was continuing research into their production. There was debate as to whether the supposed evidence of WMDs warranted use of unilateral force, but no one was debating about their supposed existence prior to going into Iraq. Thus Bush "lied" about WMDs as much as then Senator Clinton did:
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001.
It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security." -- Senator Clinton on resolution to use force in Iraq
When Mrs. Clinton said that the attacks in Benghazi were caused by an on-line video:
"Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our Embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet"
that was indeed a deliberate lie as evidenced by her own words to the Egyptian president the very next day:
“We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack — not a protest.”
True, politicians do lie more often than you'd find in the general public -- usually in order to get elected -- but for Mrs. Clinton, her lies are much more devastating and can have worse consequences for our country.
