I know that the battle lines have been drawn, and that pretty much all of us here know who we are going to vote for no matter what, I thought it would be interesting to post 1 positive and 1 negative thing for each of the 3 candidates. I will go first:

TRUMP
positive: Genuinely seems to care for America
Negative: Often needs to tone down the vitriolic attacks

HILLARY
Positive: Lifetime of public service
Negative: Seems to always put her own interests first

BERNIE
Positive: Knows how to talk to people/genuine
Negative: The whole socialist thing

Anyone else want to try?

TRUMP
Positive: not Bush or Clinton; talks tough on territorial integrity and legality (Yes, I know that's two).
Negative: a crude and crass shot in the dark.

CLINTON
Positive: actual policy outcomes probably not directly harmful in the short term to anyone, including anyone with money.
Negative: disgusting dynasty/Washington-insider politician with little personal merit.

SANDERS
Positive: rightfully stigmatizes that lack of average income growth is a serious problem.
Negative: totally assassine policy platform on how to solve it.

JOHNSON
Positive: not Bush or Clinton; common-sense 1) fiscal policy and 2) laissez-faire social policy (Yes, I know that's two).
Negative: talks stupid on territorial integrity and legality, along with the rest of the stupid parts of the Libertarian ideology, when he should stick to common-sense : 1) fiscal policy and 2) laissez-faire social policy and 3) talk tough on territorial integrity and legality and other law-and-order and military issues.
