Is this the best we have?

[Guest]

I'm a registered Republican who is very disgusted with my primary candidates. But as poor as I think my party's candidates are I'm looking at Hillary Clilton and asking myself what in hell is wrong with us as a society? To think this person has a chance of being the leader of this country troubles me. Although Sanders is not my second choice, he would be my pick if I was a Democrat. When I see a room full of people cheering Hillary Clinton I have to ask what has happened to us?

[Guest]

I can understand your disgust in the Republican candidates. The only decent one is John Kasich and he does not have a prayer. Trump, Cruz, and Rubio are embarrassing to the USA if they were ever elected as President.

Bernie Sanders would be a terrible president. Absolutely nothing would be passed by Congress.

Hillary has experience as a former First Lady and she was the brains of the Clinton presidency. She will be an excellent President.

Hopefully voters will get a majority of Democratic members in Congress so things can be accomplished instead of just more divisive politics.

[Guest]

our biggest problem as Republicans is that we have so many good people...makes the vote get separated and dissipated....but in the end i think Donald Trump will be our next president and will do a great job.

[Guest]

To the poster that suggests that Hillary would make a good president because she was married to a president........or you out of your bleeping mind? You shouldn't even be allowed to vote, if you are that stupid.

Next thing you will say is that she should be president because we have never had a female president before.

Do some research on her and her husband and you will find out how much trouble this country would be in if she was elected. They are the most corrupt couple in politics of ANY previous administration, including Nixon. Shoot, after the FBI gets done with them, the IRS will be taking their turn.

I hope you are right. The Donald's record on PolitiFact is one of the worst yet people still vote for this man.

And nothing he has said so far is remotely practical and it also creates a huge government and pushes us into war with various countries if he acts on his various promises.

Bush quit, so Rubio will pick up much of Bush's voter base. That is going to make him almost even with Trump. If kasick drops out, Rubio will pick up his base and give him the majority. However, if Carson gets out, Trump may pick up a lot of his votes. It's going to be Trump and Rubio in the home stretch. I think that the more people see of Trump the more they will see that he is a loose cannon. My vote is still leaning toward Rubio. So far, Trump has been hands off on Rubio. Is he thinking that Rubio would make a decent VP running mate when he gets the nomination? If so, a Trump/Rubio ticket would be a landslide win in the general election. The Clintons would finally be handed their walking papers.

[Guest]

Voters recognize that there is not a perfect candidate. However, we are in an election year and not just an ordinary one, but a critical one and we do not have one candidate worthy of this office.

America has watched as a man whom they knew was worthy of this position but voted for him because of either party or because of his color or both. His presidency is so replete with bad judgments, irrational decision and child-like behavior that it would take the 7.5 years he as been in office to list them.

It shocks the conscience to realize that anyone would vote for Hillary given her record of dishonesty and incompetence. Indeed the political and elite class have gotten so powerful that given the allegation against her that she is even allowed to run. One has to go no further than understand the danger she placed this nation with the use of a personal server so that she could hide her record.
an
Bernie Sanders is preaching marxism and voters are cheering. Are these voters so unaware of the fact that marxism, communism socialism is the enemy of this free nation. Free stuff translates into we own you and i for one do not want to be owned by anyone and especially government

Trump is all bluster. But the biggest fear I have is that he has not given one idota of detail as to how he will serve as our president. he has tapped into voters anger and they have responded irrationally

Bush it is said will suspend his campaign

Cruz is another danger in my mind. he has been unethical in his campaign. I question his citizenship

Rubio is indeed too inexperienced and yet is the best of this bad lot

Kasich is a RINO and his decision concerning Medicaid concerns me.

So here we are 8 months from voting for the next president and not one in my mind is suited for this important position and a a very critical time

Nope, I don't see it happening that way. If there is a Trump/Rubio ticket, they will definitely be up against Hillary, but we we don't know who her running mate will be. In addition, as someone else mentioned, mainstream Republicans will surely see Trump as a loose canon, Rubio as a right wing fringe nut and I suspect he won't get any votes from independents either. Hillary, on the other hand, is the only person running with serious foreign policy credentials. And in this terrorist climate, that is one of the most important credentials of all. Plus, she clearly will get the votes of blacks and people of color, who are a majority in the country. I don't see any way she can lose, based on who the Republicans are offering up.

Kasich decision on Medicaid shouldn't concern you. He put the health and well being of his citizens before his party. There is a poll that has Kasich beats Clinton by over 10%. All the others were a toss up. He won't be the Republican nominee, because sanity has left this election.

Rubio's inexperience can be overcome by good advisors. The question is does he know any, or who will send them in his direction.

Trump, and Cruz will be the worse thing that could happen to this country. If anyone thinks that this two clowns will be able to get anything done in DC, they have no idea how DC works now. Gridlock is the name of the game.

If either of these two gets nominated, you can say hello to President Clinton. Republicans will have no one to blame, but themselves. Four years of having to listen to her is a faith worse than death.

Hillary will not be a concern. The Democrat establishment doesn't even support her. If she gets nominated, they know that the GOP gets the White House no matter which GOP candidate is nominated.

Trump is a loose cannon but to call Rubio "a right wing fringe" is the stupidest thing I have heard this year (it's early yet). I actually consider him to be moderate, but conservative.

Hillary getting the black vote is laughable. They won't even turn out for her. News flash, the call blacks a minority group because they ARE a minority. The black voter is NOT a majority. Wow! You need to do a bit of reading.

Your loose use of stating which groups are majorities in America speaks to the lack of credibility of the post.
You need to do a little research....beyond the talking points issued.
Maybe this will serve as an example:

No offense intended but Rubio is only one year younger than Cruz and has 15 years political experience compared to Cruz's two years experience. Don't mistake Rubio's young appearance with him being unqualified for the job. Out of all the candidates, Rubio has the best traits to bring congress back together again. He is likable as well as smart.

[Guest]

Apparently you are correct, I am out of the mainstream. When this started Christie, Paul, and Fiorina were my top 3 so that will tell you something about my leanings. I still stand by my original comment though that I can't believe what we are seeing on the stages of these debates is the best America has. During my working career I worked for people with more leadership skills than are displayed in this campaign. Although Trump and Hillary can fill a town hall with supporters I can only think their followers are desperate for someone to lead them. I personally don't think any of the remaining candidates could lead a pack of hungry wolves to fresh meat. IMO

Rubio is a great financial advisor, he has a lot of experience with credit cards, how to manipulate them. Also, his brother-in-law took him under his wing.

That is a stupid and superficial comment.

[Guest]

I think that Trump would be the best. He is far from stupid. Just because he calls it like it is, makes him unlikeable to many. We have had an eloquent speaker in there the last 7 years and you see where we are with that. Trump is 100% right-on in saying that PC (politically correct) is burying us, along with all the sell-outs from this administration. Sometime truth hurts.

He has already stated early on that he does not have all the answers but will absolutely depend on those who do. He has said all along that he intends to get the best people on board to guide his decisions. I believe that is true and that his choice for a running mate will be no different.

We do need to bring jobs back to THIS country; not send them to Cuba like the tractor manufacturer Obama just went along with. We do need to take care of our own from everything to security to medical and all in between. It's about time we get someone who is not beholden to all the special interest groups and their money. If he does what he says, and I think he will, he plans to take $1 for his salary and donate the rest to charity along with NOT taking a lifetime retirement.

This is a job and whoever gets the job is supposed to work for US...AMERICA. Congressional jobs were never designed to be the careers that they have become. These people are supposed to work for US, not all their special interest buddies/lobbyists.

As an owner/CEO, he understands the importance of relying on the best to get a job done. He has not built the empire he has by trying to do everything himself. (Of course, according to our current "leader", he didn't BUILD anything.) He has said that he intends to get people that know what they are doing and LISTEN to them and then HEED their advice.

People keep yelling that politics should be about what the people want and then when what the majority indicates they want by their votes, they are called all kinds of names, especially by the media pundits. Go figure.

He has no problem with immigrants, nor do I. What we both have is a problem with ILLEGAL immigration (by the way, so do the legal ones here) and the non-vetting of middle-east refugees. They need to be proven to be legitimate refugees and not terrorism operatives.

Question for everyone: When did we become a nation of minority rule instead of majority rule, anyway? Why does an entire nation have to cow-tow to a minority of 1 instead of the majority of the rest? Respect of individuals does not mean that everyone has to change.

1. Do you want a President, the man who represents our country, who says F@@@ and P&(($ in a public discussion ? Is this the kind of man you want your children and grand children to look up to?

2. Do you want a President to think so little of you, the voter, that he simply says thinks for their entertainment value an brags how it gets him air time ?

3. Do you want a man who has changed his stance on health care so many times, it makes your head spin, and whose last stance made his proposal twice as expensive as ObamaCare.

4. Do you want a President who proudly said he was against a trade deal during the debate, and had no idea of even what countries were involved?

There are more, but if you want your representative to the world to be of such low character he simply, as he said this morning when asked why he questioned Rubio's eleibility to be President, that he just retweeted it for fun.

He is playing the electorate, and if continues, we will pay dearly.

Dear Guest: No offense is taken. Rubio is first on my list. I also have considered that Rubio is smart enough to surround himself with good people.
He clearly is a patriot and I believe he has moral integrity. what I find lacking is he has no executive experience nor served in the military

The following candidates would be a total disaster for this country Trump, Cruz, Clinton, Sanders.

My wish list for priorities for the president in 2017 are reduction of government, elimination of the Federal Reserve, simplification of our tax system to eliminate or greatly reduce the IRS, elimination many federal agencies returning control to states. Term limits for congress 6 years and Supreme Court 12 years...I know I know "when you wish upon a star....

Well, WHY didn't Rubio - being such a patriot - I ever join the military? Therefore, no moral integrity.

As for term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court - this would have to be done through amendments to the Constitution and ratifications by 3/4 of the states. Extremely lengthy process - and how many Congressmen are going to vote on a 6 year term for themselves when they have such a sweet deal?

1. Guess we'll just have to overlook that, right? By your opinion, we should have fired Biden, right?

2. The answer to this question is that we have exactly that in the White House right now.

3. We have a president that was pro-life, now isn't, was against gay marriage, now he is, was against raising the debt limit, now he is for it. Etc, etc.

4. Guess he will have to learn real fast, won't he. Looks like the writing is no the wall, and unless Rubio can beat him, Trump will be president number 45.

Allow me....

1. Your reference to Biden is confusing. To my knowledge, Joe Biden has NEVER EVER uttered profanity during a speech or answer to a question during a rally or news conference. Being picked up on a mike thinking you are private is a bit different than being so classless as to just spout that language in public (by the way in front of children)

2. Perhaps you are right but Trump has a filthy mouth and feel she is quite the stand up comedian at someone elses expense.

3. IT IS NOT TRUE that is what in the WH now. Trump has said, depending on the audience that he will completely repeal Obama care, adjust Obama Care, replace Obama care....depending on who he is talking to.

4. He has much to learn. His total lack of grasp of any issues is scary.

And most of all, I do not want this crass, foul mouthed, person representing my country. Thus we will see, you are right. Someone has to stop him.

[Guest]

Too many people who know nothing about the Constitution think it is easy to just say term limits should be imposed. Constitutional amendments take years of hard work to accomplish.

Then that means that Congress would have to actually stay on the job and WORK for a change instead of sucking up to their lobbyists and leaving every few days for "recess".

Speaking of recess: Why do they get recess and school kids can't anymore? At least something gets accomplished when the kids go out to play. Congress just finds different places to park their overpaid behinds!

Military service is not a requirement for the position. Too bad, because that would be an asset.

Dear Guest: This particular issue is a sensitive one for me. If I recall accurately the last sitting President to have had actual (regular Army) service was George HW Bush who was a pilot during WWII.

I believe that military service be required for a person to become an eligible candidate for president because as president s/he will also serve as Commander of the military. It would in my mind help a president better understand the consequences of his/her choices.

But then I am one that believes that conscription should be reinstated.

First a mercinary military contributed to Rome's decline.

Secondly an all volunteer military will eventually become cost prohibitive

Third because it will become cost prohibitive quality recruitment will hampered

Fourth because it is volunteer a large segment of societies young people will have no skin in the game

Fifth Because they have no skin in the game they will become disengaged in this nation's world affairs.

Sixth because it is voluntary and the purse is in the hands of politician it will only become more political rather than strategical.

How do I know. Well that's is what is happening now

Worse yet Obama's social experiments with our military has exacerbated the damage being created by politicians who had bowed to pressures and eliminate the draft in the first place .

Allow me....

1. Your reference to Biden is confusing. To my knowledge, Joe Biden has NEVER EVER uttered profanity during a speech or answer to a question during a rally or news conference. Being picked up on a mike thinking you are private is a bit different than being so classless as to just spout that language in public (by the way in front of children)

2. Perhaps you are right but Trump has a filthy mouth and feel she is quite the stand up comedian at someone elses expense.

3. IT IS NOT TRUE that is what in the WH now. Trump has said, depending on the audience that he will completely repeal Obama care, adjust Obama Care, replace Obama care....depending on who he is talking to.

4. He has much to learn. His total lack of grasp of any issues is scary.

And most of all, I do not want this crass, foul mouthed, person representing my country. Thus we will see, you are right. Someone has to stop him.

What I listed still stands. Your attempt to dispute it, did not do so.
Your comment about Biden is pretty funny, actually. To say that he used vulgarity on an open mic by accident so it doesn't count as using vulgarity, is like saying that an accidental gun discharge that kills someone doesn't count as killing someone because the person holding the gun in a robbery did not mean to shoot anyone.

Politicians promise a lot of things that they can't achieve, just to get elected. If people believe them, then that is their stupidity. Sanders is telling the college voter that he will give them free college. Everyone knows that he has no authority to do so and would not have congress supporting his idea. And even if it was possible, these kids would be paying for college for the rest of their lives via increased taxes.

I have no plan to vote for Trump unless he is nominated. But, his mouth is minor in relation to the faults of the candidates for the other party.

Your loose use of stating which groups are majorities in America speaks to the lack of credibility of the post.
You need to do a little research....beyond the talking points issued.
Maybe this will serve as an example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States

Maybe you need to do a little more research. According to the 2013 census,
The turnout rate of black voters surpassed the rate for whites for the first time on record in 2012, as more black voters went to the polls than in 2008 and fewer whites did. According to the census report, 66.2 percent of eligible blacks voted in the 2012 election, compared with 64.1 percent of eligible non-Hispanic whites. An estimated two million fewer white Americans voted in 2012 than in 2008, just as about 1.8 million more blacks went to the polls.

I just love the demonstrated hypocracy of any opposition to their position or party. They go on and on making lists of those attributes they do not like in an opposing candidate. Or their lack of one or another.

And when one finishes reading their list we can only conclude they have ingeniously descibed Obama.

How does that work. All that they say the opposition does not have or is incapable of is OK for their current choice Obama.

Ah, but you didn't say anything about the black turnout. You said " Plus, she clearly will get the votes of blacks and people of color, who are a majority in the country." Say what you mean or quit trying to back pedal when you get it wrong. Just admit it when you make a mistake. But, nice try. I have to applaud the fact that you actually looked something up. Most liberals are too lazy to make the effort.

Yes, I clearly had a typo and missed one word - "VOTING" as in voting majority. Good catch. Pat your self on the back - you clearly need your ego bolstered. But the fact is, the TURNOUT of black voters will propel the Democrats to a victory. And I daresay, laziness probably better applies to the Republicans as far as getting off their rear ends and out to the polls.

Unlike your response, it was not an issue of "ego." My confidence in myself is fine. So, you have a choice of having a civil debate and receive a respectful reply, OR you can get snarky and be ignored. It's up to you.

Assuming that you wish to be civil, I'd like to point out that Hillary will not get anywhere near the black voter turnout that Obama received. Why not? Because even though Bill was considered the first black president, SHE is fake, a poser, considered insincere and a liar. No one believes that blacks are stupid, in that they can easily be conned by someone that obviously changes her accent according to the environment and demographic.

I predict that there will be a very low Democrat voter turn out this election season. The older generation will not vote for a commie, and are not easily deceived by a disloyal liar. Since the pickin's be scarce on the left, they will either decline to turn out or some may even vote for Trump. I doubt that the Independent voter will even consider a Dem vote this go around.

[Guest]

My biggest concern is not so much the White House as it is the Supreme Court.. If the Republicans do not win in November we will see a 5-4 liberal tilted Court with a 6-3 or even 7-2 tilt in the next 4-8 years. In my opinion we have some good candidates especially compared to the left, but what truly matters is getting behind whomever wins the nomination UNLESS you're good with Obama Care becoming permanent, Immigration staying the same or worse and our 2nd Amendment rights being "tweeked" by the far left Supreme Court.. If you're not ok with that then I suggest we look at this election as the most important of our lifetime, one that could have serious consequences that will last a generation or more..If the 65 million gun owners or the proponents of the 2nd just VOTE whether it's Rubio, Trump or Cruz than things should be fine, if not than it's a vote for Hillary and complete uncertainty of the above mentioned for years to come....

[Guest]

I can understand your disgust in the Republican candidates. The only decent one is John Kasich and he does not have a prayer. Trump, Cruz, and Rubio are embarrassing to the USA if they were ever elected as President.

Bernie Sanders would be a terrible president. Absolutely nothing would be passed by Congress.

Hillary has experience as a former First Lady and she was the brains of the Clinton presidency. She will be an excellent President.

Hopefully voters will get a majority of Democratic members in Congress so things can be accomplished instead of just more divisive politics.
I have a problem with only Hillary's honesty being questioned. I have never heard a reporter or talk show question any other candidate's honesty. I am sure the dishonesty issue can be a question for each candidate. The only difference is Hillary's actions have been made public because of her status. The others have well hidden issues. Think about the people and the list and see if you don't agree. And as far as incompetence, I am sure there is enough of that to go around.

Bernie, well social issues have to be address. Do I agree with everything Bernie is asking for? No, but some of it makes sense. Capitalism without a conscious is a disaster for a country and its people.

I agree with your assessment of Trump and Cruz. Rubio seems to have a habit of not completing his obligation to his offices. Suck it up and do your job. Kasich may be the only moderate in the group and therefore may be able to get congress working again. Your guess is as good as mine. Good luck to all of us.

But she is what she is and you blind, no options followers have no options within your party.

What was left out of the sentence describing her was she is a felon with American blood on her hands.

And, if she does in fact get the nomination you will learn that there are just as many democrats who are as sick and tired as the rest of us at the direction and degeneration of America by the incompetent fool in the WH. The will not support another candidate promising more of the same or worse. There will be many democrats who will not accept a felon to represent them and they will make that choice in the voting booth rather than in public. And have to put up with the kind of BS that gets spewed here by the frenzied loyalists.

I want to preface my comment with an apology for thinking that you might want a civil conversation. I was mistaken, you are too involved with dealing with your anger issues. Most likely, you blame it on your parents for not showing you the proper attention when you had your temper tantrums.

I had assumed that you knew something of the Clintons when I included them in my comment. Obviously, I gave you way too much credit. If you have an occasion to utilize google, you might want to type in "Clinton", but spell it correctly, and you will begin to educate yourself so that you will have some substance to back your conversation. Until then, you might want to limit your verbiage so as not to prove that you are a foolish, ignorant juvenile acting out on the Internet.

I agree. And don't forget they think she is a "commie". Boy, I haven't heard that word in awhile. Sigh.

And they think the Republican candidates are so great:

Trump is a big mouth bully and perpetual insult machine, with zero political experience:

Cruz is a far right extremist representing only the evangelicals, totally removed from mainstream America, and a liar to boot;

Rubio is a far right extremist, had significant financial indiscretions (using a government credit card to pave his driveway among others), with zero accomplishments in 2 decades of politics.

The Democrats will have no trouble humiliating any of the above candidates during a general election.

[Guest]

And for those who don't like Hillary - here is a list of her accomplishments:

Even though her major initiative, the Clinton healthcare plan, failed (due to Republican obstruction), you cannot deny that it laid ground for what we have today, the Affordable Healthcare Act, something Clinton supports and would continue.

She played a leading role in the development of State Children’s Health Insurance Program, which provides the much-needed state support for children whose parents cannot afford nor provide them with adequate healthcare coverage.

She was also instrumental in the creation of the Adoption and Safe Families Act and the Foster Care Independence Act.

Successfully fought to increase research funding for prostate cancer and asthma at the National Institute of Health (NIH).

She spearheaded investigations into mental illness plaguing veterans of the Gulf War; we now have a term for it – Gulf War Syndrome.

At the Department of Justice, she helped create the office on Violence Against Women.

She was instrumental in securing over $21 billion in funding for the World Trade Center redevelopment.

Took a leading role in the investigation of health consequences of first responders and drafted the first bill to compensate and offer the health services our first responders deserve (Clinton’s successor in the Senate, Kirsten Gillibrand, passed the bill).

Was instrumental in working out a bi-partisan compromise to address civil liberty abuses for the renewal of the U.S. Patriot Act.

Proposed a revival of the New Deal-era Home Owners’ Loan Corporation to help homeowners refinance their mortgages in the wake of the 2008 financial disaster.

Was a major proponent of sensible diplomacy which brought about a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, and brokered human rights with Burma.

Oversaw free trade agreements with our allies such as Panama, Colombia, and South Korea.

Was the most traveled Secretary of State to date.

The Clinton Foundation, founded by her and her husband, has improved the living conditions for nearly 400 million people in over 180 countries through its Initiative program.

And these are not even all of her accomplishments.

[Guest]

I hope you are right. The Donald's record on PolitiFact is one of the worst yet people still vote for this man.

The problem is republicans are not particularly fond of facts........... or science or integrity or........

Even though you are having a great time conversing with yourself, you still have not provided any "facts" as you call them. But, maybe one of your personalities, Sybil will be convinced.

What does it say about a voter that would back a criminal or a socialist for president of the US of A? Not the most astute citizen, to put it politely.

Wow!
The talking points issue for the week must have gotten a gold star this week.
And if she was in a boat on the lake and the lake rose 10 feet she would be laisted as participating in the raising of the lake 10 feet.

Just so much poetic liscence (in other words political BS)

Another instance of a republican being unable to accept facts. I guess that comes from watching too much Faux News.

It shows that she is a community organizer, but hasn't accomplished anything substantive. She is an activists, and would do very well at the PTA or community bake sale. There is no factual basis to say that she has any accomplishments. Saying she was a wife of a president is the same as me saying she would do well at the PTA or whatever. That's not experience. They even have a protocol position in the White House so that president's wives don't even have to do any planning.

Hillary is a loser and the worst thing that this country could put in ANY position of responsibility, especially the highest leadership role in the world. Besides, she won't be able to do the job from a jail cell, so why don't you take your lame excuses for her and expend that energy on a decent candidate?

If the Dems want a really decent Democrat to represent them, they should have pushed Senator Manchin from WV. He would be a hard one to beat. I would even be tempted to vote for him.
