Right now, both parties have two main front runners.

Republicans:
Donald Trump
Ben Carson

Democrats:
Bernie Sanders
Hillary Clinton

Since the nominees won't be known until next summer, I'm putting all four in. Just select who you would vote for (and say why if you like)

If you're 18 or older, I truly hope you do actually vote, as your voice matters and makes the difference.

Also, general discussion over the election is fine in here today, as I personally take it very seriously.

I personally plan on voting Republican regardless of the nominee, but I truly hope Carson gets the nomination.

I reckon William isn't doing a good job then because she's already made some pretty irrational decisions as Secretary of State. Scandals aside, I think she'll still pick up the nomination but won't be able to win the moderate votes and independent votes because she doesn't have much integrity if any at all.

RIff Raff or Abraham lincoln

Sanders is my first choice. People like to try to point out flaws in him but all of the candidates have flaws, he seems to have the least and I agree with most his policies. Honest guy.

Clinton would be my 2nd preference. Any Democrat really, we can't have another Republican president.

Trump is a bigoted clown who's businesses have filed for bankruptcy 4 times. Gr8 businessman.

Carson is a lying psychopath. Instead of running for office he should go work at "The Puppeyes Organization".

Hillary people. I only am because I want to see a girl lead this country for a wile.

I think Hilary would run our country into the ground, honestly. Many of her ideas are just irrational and nonsense. Prime example, she wants to model our gun laws after Australia while we have over 300 million guns in the country. Does she really think that taking millions of guns and destroying them is a viable option? Because thats the Australian model. In the democratic debate she talked about how it's wrong that gun companies aren't held responsible. She said that toy companies and food companies are held responsible and gun companies should be too. That honestly worries me. Gun companies ARE held responsible when it's something THEY fucked up. If a gun blows up and causes somebody to lose a limb or some other defect with the gun, they are held responsible. She really thinks they should be held responsible for school shootings and mass murders and such. Holy fuck don't elect this bitch.

Won't even discuss Bernie because he's Hilary with more hardcore ideals. Both of them have great ideas, in theory, for college education and such but they don't have any good plans to pay for them. Because there's no good way to pay for them. It doesn't matter what great ideas you have if you don't have any other way to pay for them than run the debt to 40 trillion dollars by the time you leave office because that's not the answer. If anything we need to be reducing government programs where we can because there's too much overlap and essentially every government employed person is just a drain on the economy. They get paid by the government while producing nothing. They just raise the debt so we need to cut them where we can if we ever expect to dig our way out of the hole we're already in.

Carson is really smart in his field but some things about him worry me. For one, he's never held and position where he had to make critical decisions that effected a major business or any sort of government. He's a brain surgeon, a very good one at that but that doesn't make him a fit president. He's extremely pro-life which is against my views (personally). He thinks the earth is six thousand years old. Which worries me for a person as smart as him. It makes me think that he might only be that smart in his field because I don't know many genuises that think the earth is 6000 years old when we've found trees almost that old. He's also anti-weed and I'd really like to see the next president change our drug laws drastically and under him I don't see it happening.

I don't think Trump is our saving grace but I do think he's the best out of the four. I think he makes some good points about our border and immigration. He doesn't actually hate Mexicans. His fucking wife is Mexican. He thinks we need to lock down our border and I don't think he's wrong. The way our border is currently set up people can literally just walk across and we have to secure it. Immigrants are definitely beneficial to our economy but we can't just let them in at free will. Honestly, I don't think a wall is a bad idea, Tons of other first world countries have walls, why can't we? He's been a very successful buisness man so I think he has a pretty good idea about how the economy works from the bottom to the top. He's lost everything and made billions back. That's impressive and you don't get there by making stupid decisions. He hasn't been a politician but I'm not sure a miulti billion dollar buisness owner with no special interests isn't better than a politician anyway. He is against the war on drugs and I think he has a pretty rational view on lots of things rather than just being party driven. He wants to legalize marijuana as well as tax it because he thinks it will bring in lots of revenue as well as cut down on jail and prison overcrowding. I like the fact that he has his own ideas besides just following the republican parties ideas. I like the fact that he funds his own campaign and doesn't take money from anybody and therefore has no special interests as most politicans do.

If anybody wants to discuss it, please do.

I would say Trump, he's a business man. That's just what this country needs, in my opinion.
