Can anyone alive remember an election with worse candidates on both sides? (Republican, liberals)

I sure can't! We need an Obama to step in and sweep us off our feet again.

Last year was easily the worst. No one even bothered to challenge Obama and the Republican field was a joke. We have some great candidates this year. Sucks you only have two choices. A compulsive liar who would be in prison and a 74 year old lunatic socialist. Id just stay home if I were you

Are you kidding? 2008 and 2012 come to mind immediately.

That may be, but McCain/Palin and Romney/Ryan were so friggin awesome enough to single-handedly save 2008 and 2012 from being the worst.

Nixon vs. Humphrey vs. Wallace 1968 was certainly no shining moment in Us history.

Nice try but you fail again, Mick.

That failure is all on Obama. I used to think that GW Bush was the worst president ever. Then along came Obama to prove me wrong.

Yes! Bush VS Gore, Bush VS Kerry, McCain VS Obama, Romney VS Obama

So happy I finally have a candidate this time around, Trump!

this has been the worst selection of candidates in my lifetime (I'm a sixties baby).......Bush Kerry was a bad one as well but not as bad as this one.

I do not think that it is so much that the candidates are bad, but that our nation is so divided.

Look at the forums here as an example. Any post about anything is met with
"That s what's wrong with the country,,,the liberals think......."
OR
"the conservatives keep doing....."

I say to anyone: If you want me to listen to what you have to say, then stop blaming someone because of their political slant and start working on win win solutions.

Any response that begins or includes "You liberals think" or "Conservatives like you" gets ignored after the first three words.

I think that we are just too divided of a nation. Regardless of who the candidates are. We will hear only negativity.....Trumps language, Cruz's religious slant, Bush's incompetence as governor, Sanders communism...etc

No perfect candidate, just find someone who wants to confront the issues and be a leader.
