I know that people can be extremely fired up when it comes to politics, especially presidential politics and elections. Seems to me that churches gin up the base for the conservatives as they seem the most adamant over their candidates. They even resort to violence.
When talking to an evangelical recently, she told me that she was a single issue voter. I asked what issue was that then and she replied...abortion. Well duh, I thought. Then I wondered how people could be limited to one issue. So I decided to look at each candidate closer.

1) John Kasich. Yes he has a record as governor and it's a bad one. In every single session he tried to push through state legislation that ends not only abortion, but women's rights altogether. He is a big corporate wank as he has hurt small business and given big corps perks like no enforcement of labor laws and on environmental issues. BTW Fracking is unregulated in Ohio thanks to Kasich.

2) Ted Cruz. Well he is a windbag if ever I've heard one. Cruz's father runs an evangelical ministry that left Canada because of unpaid taxes. Basically he misappropriated funds and didn't pay income tax when he did so. Cruz claims to be a Constitutional expert, but what he really is , is a Constitutional spin master, corrupting the spirit of the law to suit his own agenda. Plus his voice and mannerisms just grate on my nerves!

3) Donald Trump. The only man that could take 8 billion and in 40 years turn it into less than 1 billion. He uses illegal workers and abuses and mistreats those workers. He is in probate and bankruptcy court constantly. I have never seen someone so divisive in my entire life. He is basically a self entitled egomaniac that takes no responsibility for his actions.

4) Bernie Sanders. I like Bernie. I think is motivated to help everyone and anyone. I don't think he can help anyone because he is too unrealistic. He makes a great Senator but I don't think he would be an effective as a president.

5) Hillary Clinton. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks so but she is the only one talking about substance. The only one that addressing issues...realistic issues.

I think what I am saying is that we cannot elect any of the three nutcases on the republican side of the aisle, and if we want the president to be effective we have to go with Hillary.
It is imperative that the Dems regain control of the Senate, keep the numbers about the same in the House or even better win the house and win the Whitehouse. Then we can get the government working again. Then we can blast through the conservatives bogging down the government and preventing anything from getting done.
As for the candidates that have dropped out, I don't see any of them as a better choice than exist right now.
So let's see what you have to say. I won't attack you personally, you are entitled to your opinion...not self-entitled.
