Who is your pick so far for the next US president?

[Smidlee]

I'm not giving up on Ben Carson. My number 2 is Ted Cruz.

I never thought Carson was going to win except by some miracle. I still vote for him. If he did happen to lie it was trying to make Jesus look good instead of himself. Others seem to lie about how wonderful they are.

He's the only one I feel is really against shedding innocent blood. I don't vote to necessary win, I'm already a winner, but to take a stand. I no longer believe man can make much difference as our country is in serious trouble. Only God can save our nation now and Carson seems to be closer to God than all the rest.

Bernie Sanders. I am a member of Republicans against the Tea Party (of which I was a member for years) and Republicans for Bernie

RAT?? You made up those two organizations, I'm assuming.

If I vote in the Repub primary, my 1st choice--as of now--would be George Pataki. If he's not running, then John Kasich. If he's not running, then Lindsey Graham. If he's dropped out, then I'll vote for Bernie in the Dem primary. If he's not running, then I may not vote. But if write-in's are allowed, I'll vote for Susan Collins if I go with the Repub ballot. And I'll write in my Senator, Claire McCaskill, if I vote the Dem ballot.

Interesting. I thought at best that they were local clubs. "Republicans for Bernie" can't have very many members, I'm thinking.

EDIT: Well, I did as you suggested, Mary, and I can't find any evidence suggesting that there IS any "Republicans for Bernie" organization, or membership, or meetings, or officers, or anything like that.

There's a website that announces, triumphantly, that there IS a Republican for Bernie. Someone has posted a photo showing that someone who claims to be a Republican favors Bernie. In Vermont. And someone created a facebook page entitled "Republicans for Bernie Sanders" but again, nothing there indicates that there's any such organization, just some posted comments about the presidential campaign.

On FAcebook, there are those pages plus others such as Moderate Republicans. Alot of the campaigning is being done on social media and the candidates are using that to measure their success. The point is.. I am not the only former tea partier that is for Bernie.. I have talked to many and to many who are leaving the Repub. party due to the current candidates. I have met Democrats 4 life (pro life dems) and Christian Democrats. I had no idea these people existed lol. ( a christian democrat? impossible I thought! )

You and I agree almost totally spiritually, disagreeing politically is just not a big deal
(if there is a 'hug' Emoji on here I could not find it lol)

Clinton then Sanders

Between Hillary Clinton and a pile of leaves I would vote for the pile of leaves. Sanders will never be allowed to gain the nomination. They will find him under a cannon in Fort Marcy Park before that happens.

I'm still voting Sanders, and you can't stop me.

Run a search for Vince Foster.

I have no desire to stop you. But Hillary does.

Do you suspect foul play instead of the suicide?

 

[Sistrin]

Do you suspect foul play instead of the suicide?

I think his suicide was rather convenient. Much has been written about the case, some of which does indicate foul play. But I don't know. What I do know is ever since his death Foster's name has often been invoked as sort of a running metaphor for not crossing the Clinton's.

 

[Frenzy]

It seems that for most Americans politics is just a game that runs for over a year, in other countries the people decide and it's all done and dusted in less than a couple of months.
It's a pity Obama can't run for another term because I think he would win again, the US has been turned completely around, the US presidency has gone from being a laughing stock to an office respected all over the world for it's efficiency and competence, when Hillary replaces him it will continue along the same lines, if a republican was made president the world would wait for things to go wrong again, because of that there will not be a republican in the White house for many years to come.

Almost everyone suspected foul play at the time. The circumstances and evidence suggested it, but of course the federal government wouldn't look into that.
