Except for Bernie Sanders you Americans literally have the worst people imaginable running in your Presidential elections.
I'm not saying this to be funny or disruptive, I just think that courting "the evangelical vote" is sort of akin to letting ISIS fund your campaign.

Hopefully Clinton will name a good Vice President and then die shortly after being inducted into office.
This. I've actually said this. Although 'die' is too vague and needs to involve words like "masked men", "truck", "bludgeoned", "televised manhunt, ending in authorities arriving too late", "horrific", "we cannot show the found footage on-air", "still no suspects"...Quote:

What would make bernie the exception? He's closer to trump than he is to hillary.Quote:

Trump and Clinton as well as most if not all of the others are seekers after power.On the other hand,Sanders was urged to run by ordinary citizens and his primary concern truly seems to lay in helping those citizens.
What's the line about the people who most yearn for power being the least fit to have it?
Plus Clinton has a history of flip-flopping on some pretty major issues so I'm of the opinion her "moral compass" consists entirely of assessing which way the wind blows.
Trump's either crazy or so out of touch with reality that it amounts to the same thing as being crazy.
Sanders has also actually held a job other than rich child, lawyer or boss of me so I assume he would be a little more sympathetic to the problems that most of society has to regularly deal with.
He's succeeding despite his belief in socialism not because of it. If his chief concern was just getting elected then he'd, like Trump. just tell people what they,or at least what he thinks that they want to hear.Quote:

I actually like quite a bit of what he has to say, but you are correct in saying that he has created an uphill climb for himself. That and targeting all of the corporations and extremely wealthy- nothing fills the coffers of your opponents quicker than saying you will make them pay their taxes.Quote:

It pains me that my fellow voting, shared-land inhibitors would so much as entertain the thought of Hillary- yet alone Trump, as our 'leader'. FFS.
Was this said to bait me Meg??Quote:
