I for one, would happily vote for Trump.
Sorry but I don't get the feeling that Trump is out to help anyone other than himself. He is proposing big tax cuts for the rich which we just can't afford. He blows off his big mouth and gets us into hot water with our allies. He would make a horrible President IMHO. I just can't vote for him. Jay

I can. While I was a fan of Fiorina, I just don't see it happening for her. I don't agree with Trumps idea of banning Muslim entry to the US, but I do appreciate his calling out the media and non-PC statements which, I think, is really putting hardworking people in this country at a disadvantage. We do need to be viewed favorably on an international level, however not at the expense of our national security and immigration. If Trump gives the rest of the world an unfavorable view of us, but helps us here at home, then so be it.

I can't think of any reason anyone should vote for Clinton. Her holier than thou, smug attitude and her blatant dishonesty absolutely disgusts me. At least Trump is honest!

I don't under the war on PC and why it's such a hot topic the past few years. It's like children are telling their parents something isn't proper and the adults feel threatened to how they saw their lives.

Honestly, it's called shredding ignorance. Nothing wrong with that. As people become more educated, we become more aware of history, minorities/cultures, and science.

Now, I'll admit sometimes it's taken too far, but, that's not usually the case.

Did you hear Donald Trump use the word "schlonged" when he referred to Clinton and Obama. I am embarrassed to write that word on an anonymous website let alone say it in public on TV for all the world to see.

Do you really want a president who uses words like schlonged in general conversation when conversing to other heads of state or at the UN etc?

Honestly, I don't really care as long as he does what he says he's going to do.... words like that don't hurt my feelings...

Pataki is done. Even though Pataki never had a chance, I thought he was one of the better candidates. I think we have 11 people now?

It has nothing to do with hurting your feelings but it has everything to do with the decorum and class of our president and the man or woman who represents ALL OF US on the world stage.

CLASS? You think the president we have has class?

Look up his premature comment's he's made regarding Cambridge MA police, calling them "stupid", or saying Trayvon Martin "could've been my son".... when the kid was on drugs. How about the backhanded "salutes" he gives service members greeting him...

You want to get on a candidate for class...start with our current president.

Who?
Btw, I was the only person to vote for Carson on this poll.

My mistake. I cast that vote before he went off the looney side. I rescind my vote.

I'm looking at a couple of people. Not sure yet but I can tell you it will not be sanders or Clinton (unless we are talking about Bill Clinton)

These two incidents certainly give evidence of Obama having a more African American perspective. I don't know what they have to do with class...

You really want to compare Obama and Trump when it comes to decorum?
