Don't like any of them. They all suck. The USA is stuck choosing from a business man that's so full of himself that he's sure to piss off the rest of the world and a bunch of career politicians that are responsible for the mess we find ourselves in.

I attended a rally Bernie Sanders hosted at my local convention center. The news later said there were 9,000 people in the main room, and 3,000 more in the overflow room. Good old Bernie gave a thrilling speech. The rally felt like a Dave Matthews concert combined with a church revival.

I showed up half an hour before its scheduled start. The line to get inside was insanely long. After walking for 40 minutes trying to reach the end of the line, I quit. As I was leaving the area to go home, I neared the front of the convention center. Then a demon in my head persuaded me to forget the line and walk right through the entrance.

I felt kind of bad to cut in line like that but, heck, that's politics.

Tbh, I am a Trump supporter? You may ask yourself why the hell am I a trump suppoter? I am a trump supporter because most of his views are correct (I don't agree with his stance on the Israeli- Palastine conflict). You don't want minimum wage $15 an hour. You need to cut the amount of people that rely on welfare and you will not get that if minimum wage is $15 an hour. You will most likely just get replaced by robots that require no pay. Wish there was a better candidate but whatever.

My ranking right now is something like Cruz > bubonic plague > Clinton > Trump > Sanders. If the Republicans nominate someone else in a weird convention fight, there's a good chance I'll be a fan as well. Cruz isn't my dream candidate, but Clinton is a crook, and Sanders and Trump are completely insane.

So to the lot of you who are backing Trump, I have to ask - is it a pure spite vote? Because pretty much all the candidates still seriously in the running except Clinton are absolutely despised by "the establishment". And while there's a couple things I agree with him on, he's such a flagrant narcissist that I've just run screaming, and his habits of encouraging political violence scare me too.

he is maybe a bit passionate but these are troubled times. this very well could be the last hope we have. his policies aren't what the media and GOP claim as well. they claim his economic plan will sink the country. yet experts say his plan provides +11.plus% growth for over 10 years and hillarys plan provides -0.02%. sanders wants bread lines. his own words. not to mention i kinda don't like the fact he was on welfare till age 40 and i don'think he fully understands socialism. cruz is as trump says. "LYIN TED". hehehehe... that laugh cruz has reminds me of those beavis and butthead characters. while others i know say he reminds them of quagmire from family guy.

I wouldn't call it a spite vote. Hillary is a criminal and Sanders is a commie.

So I really have no other choice except the Libertarian candidate.

Pale: I've looked into Trump's plan - the last time anyone tried to restrict trade like he wants to, it literally caused the Great Depression. I'll pass.

Johanas: And Cruz? That said, the Libertarian candidate is amazing - I'm still pissed he didn't do better in the Republican primary in 2012, he should have been a serious candidate there("successful blue state governor" is always a great starting point). Stupid Ron Paul...

I have voted Libertarian since 1988 and think this election is too important to hand to the Democrats. I like Gary, and he is an excellent candidate... but he has as much chance of being heard as a fart in a hurricane

Trump has his faults but at least he isn't Hillary, Sanders, or Cruz.

This political season has been a complete fiasco. It illustrates how the powerful/elite have created the illusion of two different political parties. Trump is the result of this and it serves them right; I'm glad the establishment, the talking heads on 24hr "news" cycles and the "donor classes" are all freaking the hell out. What's even funnier, is that the pundits are all scratching their heads and not realizing that anyone voting for Trump is just giving the establishment "the bird". Nobody REALLY thinks there is going to be a Mexican financed wall. Reps and Dems have ignored the people for so long, this was the only way to get their attention.
I did go to a Sanders rally; did not cut in line though, mainly because the news vans were parked in front of the door ;) would have looked bad. I liked his message, however lofty being that the super-delegates have crafted the result of the primary from get-go.

Definitely a strong bernie supporter, although his chances of securing the democratic nomination are low. If Hillary wins the nomination ill probably have to resort to her because there is no way in hell trump can be our president in my opinion.

i'm telling you guys Trump is the real deal. it's true he does have lots of money and he does have flaws but more so he is a true patriot. why hell, even i have flaws, how about you? his economic policy is about fair trade not free trade that is being force fed to us. that free trade only costed us over 500 billion last year. projections for the future only get worse. that 500 billion was at a -0.04 growth. just released information says we are now at -0.07 growth with more decline expected. if you buy into what the media says then don't pay me no never mind. oh, did i mention george soros controls every media outlet other than a few on the internet. look it up, you'll see. look up how the government has pumped trillions into his ventures going back to bush. this guy actually makes hitler look good.

Pale, I could never support someone who says women should be imprisoned for reproductive choice or that Mexican immigrants are rapists or that Muslims should be banned from the country to name just a few examples. He may say good things about trade but I can't hear those things because of his vile comments about, well, just about everybody.

@Zentrino,
Why shouldn't women be punished for killing a child? Only 36% of abortions are before the 6 week mark (at 7 weeks, a baby has brain waves, a beating heart, arms, and hands). How is that not a human? That is murder. Getting an abortion just because you can't take care of it is a lame excuse. Figure it out yourself, like it used to be. You made a mistake now you have to pay for it. I do support abortion, however, if the mother was raped/incest (even then there should be a limit) or a risk to the mother or baby. As for Mexican immigrants, he actually was talking about illegal immigrants. Which what he said about them is not racist considering they illegals aren't a race. Trump actually called for a temporary halt on Muslim immigration until both parties can come together to end these terror groups. So keep your complaints coming.

At the same you support hillary who was originally a Republican in college. She

The media wants you to hate trump but if you really listen to what he says and does, you wouldn't hate him. But many people let the Soros led media pick parts of what trump says and says they are racist or unamerican
