We did though. Kasich was a level headed guy who could actually be a good president but he got shunned by the media in favor of the 2 candidates who pull big ratings

i felt, out of all of the guys that raced on the right, that Rubio or Kasich had the best chance to pull in the undecided voters.

Kasich would have been fantastic with the undecided and/or Independent voters. This is why the rumors of Trump practically begging Kasich to be his VP make a lot of sense.

How many Hillary supporters does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None, they prefer to remain in the dark.

How do you forsee the candidate you are voting for implementing their platform?

How do you like their VP picks?

What direction do you see our county going in if they are elected?

What do you think their biggest success will be? Biggest short coming?

What do you plan to do on a personal level to improve your current situation?

3 biggest issues facing our country right now? How does your can is are stack up in helping make a difference?

Biggest reason you are voting for them?

I would prefer if you didn't slander the other candidate to answer any of these questions. Try to be as objective as possible, please.

I was hoping Kasich could make a run, unfortunately extremes on both ends dominate currently. I will not be voting for either of these turds. Such an embarrassing election for this country.

Together we can.........................put private servers in a random home in every state.
Together we can.........................be MIA when important phone calls come at 3AM
Together we can.........................make anything up and people on the left will believe it.

This list could be fun.

One. He fired the other 15.

It's going to get annoying if Clinton kaine actually going to continue with the whole fire / hire schtick
People, it was a reality show. The "you're fired" was a tv thing.

I kind of thing a few dozen people have been hired by trump over the years. As a matter of fact I think he's even has an impressive number of female execs

The reason we have trump as the nominee is because Kasich failed to get out even though he was losing state after state.

preakness · 07-24-2016, 08:08 AM

I made up my mind yesterday while watching SNL that I'm voting Trimp over Clinton because I think I will enjoy more actors / comedians that portray Trump than Clinton

Yep. That's my reason

The first bankruptcy associated with Trump was perhaps the most significant in terms of his personal finances, according to news reports at the time. He funded the construction of the $1 billion Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, which opened in 1990. By 1991, the casino was nearly $3 billion in debt, while Trump had racked up nearly $900 million in personal liabilities, so the business decided to file for Chapter 11 reorganization, according to the New York Times. As a result, Trump gave up half his personal stake in the casino and sold his yacht and airline, according to the Washington Post.

I wonder ho much Airforce One will go for?

I will say this about Bernie: at least he could admit he was bald.

just the notion that someone with that level of net worth would feel entitled to the most powerful office in the country w/o offering full, complete and detailed transparency of his finances is offensive. he should also give a detailed plan for how he inntends to avoid conflicts of interest.

that's what a "man of the people" would do.
btw, i am aware he has filed disclosure forms, but those are laughably bogus and intended for "regular" politicians that (usually but not always) have a net worth 3-5 orders of magnitude lower.

Google "Clinton Foundation Uranium Russia".

i was hoping he would have a chance, but he didn't stoop to the low levels of trump. that was my choice in the primary after jeb got eliminated. he probably would've been a strong contender had he been chosen.

How do you like their VP picks?Being undecided still, I will offer that Pence, Kaine, and Weld are all fine, low-impact/low-risk choices.

What direction do you see our county going in if they are elected?In the short term I see little to no difference with any of them. I think the bickering with Congress continues no matter who wins. The danger, frankly is who these knuckleheads pick to fill a Supreme Court with as many as 3 potential vacancies coming up in addition to the current vacancy. That could prove disasterous if the court leans too far in either direction.

What do you think their biggest success will be? Biggest short coming?For all of them, their success will be the economy. Why? Because it is cyclical and will eventually swing back up giving whatever President we have too much credit. The biggest short coming will be the continued inability to bring the country together. They will either spew rhetoric or, like most Presidents, avoid discussing the elephant in the room.

What do you plan to do on a personal level to improve your current situation?Keep my head down and try to keep saving toward retirement one day. Hahaha.

3 biggest issues facing our country right now? How does your can is are stack up in helping make a difference? 1. Globalization. We are too involved in everyone elses messes. We got plenty here that could use some cleaning up. 2. The Supreme Court. See above. 3. Government expansion. Both parties have done nothing but expand the government to record levels this century. That needs to stop. We don't need half of it and we certainly can't afford it.

Trump is the best choice to solve #1. He seems to want to shift to a more isolationistic approach. We could actually use that for a couple of year so we can get our house in order. #2 - I have zero confidence in any of them on this one. As for #3, Johnson would be the best one there.

Biggest reason you are voting for them?At this point, no idea. If Johnson can get to the debate stage somehow, I'd probably be able to better make my mind up then.

I would prefer if you didn't slander the other candidate to answer any of these questions. Try to be as objective as possible, please.

See above. Best I could do typing on an iPad and being undecided.

Very true plus they are both more "like able" than Mike Pence for a VP.

Kasich doesn't fit the Trump platform and I'd argue Pence is more popular than Kasich in each of their respective states. Pence was a good safe choice and Trump doesn't look to need Kasich to win Ohio.

I'd urge all to go see Hillary's America with an open mind and have a civil discussion on the validity of many of the talking points.
