USA Presidential Candidates

a reply to: jimmyx

The Iowa caucus is in February 2016. The last primary election is scheduled for June 7th. We're 230 days away from the first votes being cast.

It's not 'soon' but it's also not really far off either.

Is there really no other candidates capable of running your country that Clinton or Bush?

Yes, there ARE other candidates.

And the money! Why is so colossally expensive to run for president? It costs peanuts in the UK by comparison.

Because this has become a crony-capitalist oligarchy/plutocracy.
It is SICKENING.

Both Bernie Sanders AND Martin O'Malley are running on the Reform Campaign Finance issue.

I don't agree with his stance on drinking the blood of his enemies from a cup made from the skull of someone who offended him, but his view on lower taxes has me interested.

Indeed does believe in family values, and cares for the planet, and loves organic farming.

It's the guys on the fringe that are the best.. Like Paul, Omally, Warren, Sanders and a couple of other ones...None of them is perfect though and you wonder if any of them could get anything done. I have real concerns as Paul as a leader...I don't think he's cut out to lead, but would make a great VP. Maybe I'm wrong. So far I have three worth mentioning on the left and one on the right.

You would think a great military leader would be cut out for the job, much like Eisenhower or George Washington but...

So he is someone who would appeal to everyone!

Sanders and Warren will break your heart.

If people only knew !!

You don't even know the candidates name and you're willing to vote for them? Really?

If you can't even search for their name, I doubt you will do any research on your own.

Dude. Another response to your nasty post.......

We are STILL nearly a Year and a Half from the election. (That's a bit less than 18 months: it's 1 year and 20 weeks and 1 day FROM TODAY, by the way )
These yahoos are all just getting started........

That is all. I want nothing else to do with you, KawRider9. Ride the Kaw through Kansas, spend some time ..... it's likely your paradise. I, personally, want OUT from under this New-Apostolic-Reformation Seven-Mountain-Dominionist Rabid Republican Bible-Thumping Koch-Brothers Sycophant guy named "Brownback."

Look him up. See how it's going. It's a total disaster, making national headlines. If you don't know what the rest of those terms mean - look them up. They are real, they are already in office, and wanting to be even higher up. You do some research. Then come back and try to have an adult conversation.

It can't POSSIBLY be worse to have people of actual integrity and common sense in office than it is heart-breaking (and sickening) with the rest of the lineup running NOW.

People care far more about Kim Kardasian's backside than they do about a president.

I was not being rude, nor am I coming close to violating the T&C's here, you're though! You've replied to my one post to you quite passionately. I said up-front I was not trying to be rude, but my statement stands. I'm very sorry you took offense to my assumption, but you must see that you're proving me right. You're getting very defensive and argumentative before even hearing my explanation.

You said you were willing/wanting to vote for a certain ticket, yet, you had to Google the names of said candidates to know who you were talking about. Again, I'm sorry for my assumptions, but your statement sounds (to me) like you're very uninformed on the candidate you're referring to and only like them because of what you've been told. (Personally, I know who my candidates are and their voting records, their accomplishments, their up and down-sides, I gather every bit of information on every candidate I can find before coming to a conclusion).

Again, I'm not attacking you or being mean, I enjoy talking with everyone on ATS and hearing/reading everyone's opinion. I'm sorry you took offense to my statement and will attempt to word my responses better in the future.

Kim Kardashian's backside (also known as Biden) might also run for office as well!

Just the thought of 17 more months of this BS makes me want to

So if you had to chose right now of the candidates on the right, who would you chose? You know I'm leaning for Sanders and that I'd take anyone over Bush or Hillary and Hillary over Bush...on the Right I like Paul but don't think he's ready to be the pres yet...Just curious.

Speaking of leader, I am hoping for someone who can bring us together after all these years of divisiveness, we need someone who unites.

This country needs healing.
