Fact of the matter is... none of the top candidates show strong promise.
Trump is great at firing people up and is by far the most entertaining candidate to listen to, however, he is so off the wall with his extreme ideas for immigration/national security and so reactionary with his defensive responses to criticism, his temperance is hard for most people to feel confident in when thinking of a Trump Presidency. He is playing the masses like puppets with this strategic buzz statements and many are eating it up... If he can keep it up, it is going to bring him the nomination... He brings confidence on his economic policy's as I think most Americans would like to see a smart businessman run this country and get us back on track with jobs, trade and reducing our debt, Trump is probably the best suited to do this. With everything considered it is still pretty scary if you step out of the bubble and really think about a President Trump.
Cruz, amazes me that he is an actual consideration... He screams sleazy, con man, with his over-exaggerated sincerity. He may appeal to extreme religious and conservative types but he would bomb the GOP if he is the candidate... there is no doubt. He just does not have the right charisma, personality, or mass appealing viewpoints on issues to be the leader of the free world.
On the other side, Hillary isn't bringing anything new or exciting to the table and at a time when many want reform she doesn't invoke confidence in her ability to do that. The right is still drooling over Benghazi and the email scandal that they are convinced makes her a criminal... Stop drinking the Conservative media koolaid!!! Nobody really cares about either of those things. Mistakes were made but nothing significant or intentional enough to warrant criminal charges or anybody to really care. It's time to move on the the real issues.
Sanders, I really like, he has a heart of gold. I think many agree with his demands for campaign finance reform and frustrations with the overwhelming advantages/dominance of the upper 1%. My issues with Bernie is i don't have confidence in his ability to manage the economics of the country. With our debt/deficit so high and a need for a private sector job explosion, I don't think his policy ideas will help in those areas. Growing government at this time is going to dig us deeper into a whole that we need to get out of. I really hope people start listening and adopting some of his ideas to reform and fix some of the corruption in Washington, he hits the nail on the head in that category.
I'd actually love to see a Bloomberg, run and learn more about what he would bring to the table. Progressive on social issues and a fiscally conservative business man with proven success is something that falls in line with the wants of a majority of Americans. It is something that this country desperately needs. Plus, I'd love to see an Independent take the house and knock this corrosive party system down to size. I haven't seen him speak very much so I don't know if he has the gusto for the job but i'm definitely interested to see more.
Who do you like and why?
