Yes presidential candidates have been less than stellar for some time now but a greater problem is those running for and being elected to congress. These individuals are supposed to be running the country but instead all they worry about is lining their pockets, their benefits and voting with a mob mentality. Meanwhile those who elected them are left with nothing.

Except that he is. He can't come out and say it out loud, but if he thought he could implement his own brand of full bore Socialism here and get away with it he wouldn't hesitate to do it.

Clinton's policies is what led us down the path to self destruction until the bubble finally burst . Not entirely Bush's fault. His fault was letting his cabinet control him

Obama is subliterate? That's actually one I hadn't heard before...and I thought I had heard them all!

The real question is why would the Democrats vote in such a lying corrupt candidate as their wanna be president?
No, that's not the topic of thread at all.

The fact is that even if Kasich had been nominated, the left-wingers and their minions in the press would have made him out to be a fire-breathing neo-fascist.
No, I don't think so. I wouldn't have voted for him, but I think he's a decent man with slightly right of mainstream ideas.

In the first 10 posts: The OP asked a question about Republican nominees. And every Trump supporter has failed to respond to that question. Typical.

McCain had the darling of the Tea party as his VP candidate. When interviewed Palin could not demonstrate a command of the issues. There was one report that she didn't even know what the Fed was. McCain was old and Palin would have been next in line.

Romney was another rich mans son. Usually the son's talent and drive don't match the father's. I won't however put him in the same class as Bush and Palin. We can trust that the middle class would not have done well with Romney.

Now we have Trump running. You Republicans must admit that his performance was **** poor the other night. He's nothing but a slick salesman with a couple of good ideas about trade but nothing more than that.

It's time for you to think about who you are making the most powerful person on Earth. FOX, Hannity, O'Reilly and Limbaugh shouldn't be doing your thinking for you. It's very important that you think for yourselves and do some independent research on these people who you choose to lead. The jury is no longer out on your poor choices for President and Vice President.
you have a point with mccain, but palins interviews were edited to make her look as bad as possible in the eyes of the democrats. bush had to deal with a lot of crap from the clinton administration, like the gutting of glass-steagal, the reinforcment of the CSA, etc. and he tried to blunt the issue of the housing bubble but was rebuffed by the democrats in both houses who said everything was just fine.

palin had real executive experience whereas obama had NONE.

romney was lambasted in the press, most of which were either massive stretches of the truth t outright lies by the democrats, or things were taken way out of context, another typical trick of politicos, especially democrats.

as for trump, once again he is getting the romney treatment.

but apparently instead of trying to find the real truth, you would rather buy into the lies created by people who would prefer you be obedient little slaves while they rob you blind, while you cheer them on as they continue to erode your constitutional rights, and garner more and more power for themselves.

Many of these DINO Folks are without doubt "Acutely Delusional" ... With the horrendous example DINO's have for a candidate and then to make a statement regarding who the RINO'S are supporting ... well it's just what you would expect ! ... The Goof Troop DINO'S refuse to take even a scant look at the paltry and not nearly ready for prime time candidate they have chosen to support ... If they did even this much they would without a shadow of a doubt have a different one running for POTUS !! ... How pathetic !!! ..... Old Sgt. Lamar Says So !!!!
