On the Democratic side, I would never vote for Bernie, so that only leaves Hillary. I'm not sure how she'd be worse than what's happening now. It mostly doesn't make sense that people would ignore Benghazi, and classified information in e-mails.
For the Republicans, I haven't really looked at where each person stands on key issues. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are interesting, but then you have the argument about how they're both in their first term. Then, when did Rubio become the "establishment," if he was running with the support of the Tea Party?
What are the stereotypes that Rick points to for Republicans? White, male, rich, only want Americans to have jobs, English should be the official language ... Could there be any bigger caricature of that than Donald Trump?
On the "religious" side, you probably get a Ted Cruz. "We'll protect your religious liberties." Realistically, any President should do that, if they take the Constitution at face value. I'd actually argue that people who claim to be "evangelical" might not be using their "religious liberty" at all. Whenever I do die, will people at least know that I'm a Christian, or want to talk about why God and Jesus make a difference? If I was one way on Sunday and partying the other six days of the week, wouldn't that be hypocritical? Have people seen me own a slave, think badly about women, or discriminate against gay folks? I guess it depends on how you define "discriminate." They should have some legal rights if they want to live together. I just disagree with calling that something else or having a priest do the ceremony.
Would Democrats or "independents" consider ANY of the current Republicans? I was reading a little bit about Kasich, and he sounds more toward the middle. One issue he doesn't seem to touch at all is immigration. For education, he says things like: Education is local, no federal learning standards, expanding school choices, keeping college affordable.
On that last point, I am in some college debt, but it's mostly my own fault. If you're talking about community college, it might be unique to where I grew up, but I had ZERO debt from that experience. The federal grants by themselves usually covered tuition, and they had to REFUND me the extra to buy textbooks. I would ask all the kids going to any kind of school: What's your intended major? If it's a Bachelor of Science, engineering, law, medicine, ... by all means, get a degree. If you don't know, spend a year or two in community college or find a technical school to learn welding, electrical, plumbing, etc. Those jobs should all pay better than retail or McDonald's. If you've ever volunteered to build a house, you know how it's honest work, and those are very respectable jobs.
Basically, the myth is that everyone should be in college, earning a Masters of the Arts or something. My main college debt was probably avoidable if I could've finished faster (it took SEVEN YEARS for my Bachelor's). Theoretically, I should have the skills for jobs that pay around $25.00 per hour, so I doubt I'll be in debt for the full 20 years they give you to pay back the loans.
Anyway, I think my order might be:
Kasich
Rubio
Cruz
Dr. Carson
Hillary
Trump
Bernie Sanders
Rubio is sounding like an idiot lately. He's there to imitate Trump, which doesn't seem to be weakening Trump at all.
Cruz I would say is ineligible. That's been discussed already, and people don't seem to know what "native born" means. Barack Obama probably wasn't born here, or he gave up his citizenship to move to Indonesia. On the Republican side, I know McCain was born in Panama, but to parents who were both US citizens. It's pretty hard to figure out that gray area. I don't think Obama or Cruz have both parents as US citizens, and then you have Cruz obviously not being born here.
Even if not for that, he says these weird ideas that don't sound like the Constitution. Let's utterly destroy ISIS. OK. You be the one to get Congress to agree on that, instead of voting based on their party. Otherwise, a President can't use the military to start wars by himself (there's another document besides the Constitution about war powers, which makes it more confusing). Obama can't nominate a new Supreme Court justice! Why not? It should wait until the next election? I'd have to read the Constitution on that part. There are a bunch of things where I DON'T LIKE what might happen if Obama picks another justice, but does the Constitution only apply when someone from your party is in office, or all the time?
Dr. Carson - I heard how he withdrew from the next debate, so does that mean he doesn't see a way to win? I wasn't sure if he was going to make vaccines mandatory or not. The thing with vaccines is, some of them were the result of women having an abortion, and then using cells from that dead baby to incubate a virus for 40 to 60 years. Why would anybody support that? Why haven't the vaccine companies tried to find a different source after having multiple decades to test other alternatives?
Hillary - Well, we know she's basically running on her husband's name. I listen to her speeches, and some of them sound good on the surface. You'd have to show me the math, though, and how she'd do it WITHOUT growing the government.
Trump - I have no idea why Hannity is this guy's campaign manager. Probably not literally, but Hannity doesn't even PRETEND he's unbiased. I can't tell where Trump stands on a bunch of policies and issues. He's talking about getting along with Paul Ryan. What if Congress goes Democrat when people know Trump is going to be the nominee? Then he'd have to manipulate a bunch of them. When has he ever been a politician, and how are his opinions not extreme or bigoted?
Bernie Sanders - Sorry, Rick. I don't know what the deal is with this guy. Would he live through a four-year term? Does HE know what "socialism" means? I've tried to research it myself, and somehow it blurs with communism. The government is ALREADY slowing things down with regulations. How would you add more and avoid a recession? It's mostly the big corporations that weather a recession or regulations, because they can hire lawyers and accountants. How do the "little guys" get in business and create more competition? For tax rates, the best idea I've heard was from Richard Dreyfuss. If you want to raise the rates above 50% for a certain group, explain what it's paying for, and set a time limit when those rates will expire or drop again. Overall, he talks about rates that can go up or down, rather than leaving us with too much debt or punishing hard work for no reason.
