HRC--I think she is a safe choice to cement the Obama coalition and govern for the 21st century. She has more experience at the top of American politics than every other candidate combined, and she is starting to show a willingness to change her approach and perspective.

I simply don't think Sanders can win. Even if he could, I doubt his ability to manage a highly polarized political atmosphere from the top.

Tend to agree, but I'm not sure Biden might not be the answer for many on the fence between the other two, should he decide to run...

So in other words, you vote based on personality rather than policy positions?

Just don't like any of the candidates views except Jim Webb. Probably be voting third. Like Rand Paul, but his stance on abortion is too aggresive.

Fiorina is out after arguing with Trump about anchor babies.. if it is legal.. she said it is.. no fight in her!

Kasich is not a conservative , expanded medicaid. Will do nothing about gay marriage. Supports it..no fight in him.

Jeb will do nothing about illegals as his wife before he met her was a illegal border crosser.. her dad spoke of her living with him in CA, both illegal.. She married Bush and denounced her father for telling the truth and didn't speak to him for decades .

Cruz fights the establishment. Good man

Carson will not be politically correct and open minded on solutions. Good man

Trump.. if he waffles he loses. must stay strong . complex , see how it works out.

Jindal outspoken , tells it like it is.. a fighter too.

Huckabee speaks truth and good with words.

Christie wants to invest in college for illegals. not conservative
We shall see who is destroyed by the right and left.. long road ahead and a fight to the finish.

I can tell you Bush, Carson, Clinton, Cruz, Fiorina, Graham, Huckabee, Jindal, Paul and Trump are not gonna be my pick. Bush isn't not because of policy besides his Planned Parenthood issues, but because he's a Bush and we've seen two fail. Carson is buffoon who only spouts off conservative talking points and ideas that are known to be wrong. Clinton, where do I start with her ineptitude? Cruz is a Christian conservative mascarading as a constitutional conservative. Fiorina while growing on me I don't like her HP track record. Graham isn't a serious candidate with any strong platform. Huckabee is too much of a bible thumper for my liking. Jindal's track record isn't that good now that I've heard it. Paul I liked this time last year but the more he has said I don't like and Christie burned him during the first debate. Trump, he is a headcase and not presidential nor electable at all.

Rubio is one I can't get a true handle on to know if I would or wouldn't vote for him.

The only candidates I know that I would vote for are Christie, Kasich or Sanders but most likely Sanders. Why, he has true solutions for the middle class who has been crushed by years of failed trickle-down economics, off-shoring, running lean, part-time, service economy and many other business ideas that our government has failed to work with to correct.

Agreed! This about the U.S. not electing a Muslim is unbelievable -- so stupid.

If we're talking "divisive," Carson makes Obama appear the great unifier!
