I'm not a huge fan of Obama either.
Man, this is how much I think both suck ass. I agree with you. I would take a third Obama term over the two. I think Obama is a c- president.

Thought this is somewhat relevant to the people or who feel this entire system is just a crock of shit....

Solid listen. I really liked the concept of of the ranked voting. Also, straight ticket voting...such garbage. I had no idea about that...nor have I ever noticed it when voting.

Yeah, no matter which of the two wins, odds are it'll make the complaints of the last 16 years with Bush/Obama seem sort of frivolous. On one hard, you have a corrupt career politician whose stance on any issue is, uh, whatever she deems appropriate for the current occasion. On the other hand, you have a massive egomaniac with no filter, no self-control and seemingly no knowledge of anything outside his own personal world, to go with amazingly thin skin.

http://www.isidewith.com/

I was 87% Gary Johnson as my top choice. Hillary came out at 41% for me.
Trump 86%
Johnson 78%
Castle 78%
Clinton 31%
Stein 20%

I think I only got Trump higher than Johnson because I have rather strong believes about illegal immigration and I most those questions as "more/most" important.

I'd prefer to not "hangout" at either convention.

I agree with 3% of Trump so I am 3% racist. Own it!

I was thinking about why anyone ever want to be president in this time we live in. You would have to be so corrupt that you need to stay in the game or have such a huge ego the only way to fill it is to be leader of the country you live in.

They were never going to vote for Hillary in the first place and I doubt they voted for Obama. I seriously think this will be the most lopsided loss in history. I'm amazed he won the primary. Fucking amazed.
Just since WW2, Hillary will probably win, but not by anything close to these landslides.

For all the liberals like to joke about the Rs "love affair with Reagan" he won 2 of the top 3 most landslide victories in the last 80 years.

I think Obama is an F and I would take him over both Trump and Hillary.

z4p not all engineers are "smart" outside that world of pro cad and their desk top many are socially stupid, dumb than a stump in common sense, personal hygiene and lack many time ambition, creativity.
You don't have to be smart ...to be smarter.
Correct.

I'd rather drink a gallon of a strangers' spit than to vote for Hillary. So, I've made up my mind - Gary Johnson's got my vote.

I wish Johnson even had a remote chance in Hell of winning. If he did he would have my vote as well. I 100% agree with your first statement which leads me to only one last option, and I will puke on my way in and out of the poling place in November doing it.

Believe me, it's not anything that I look forward to, knowing that my vote is - for all intents and purposes - wasted. I'm uncomfortable doing it. Also, I can understand how Trump will get votes. People are just at that point...

I have no problem voting for a pro-growth candidate:

The announcement comes ahead of Trump's planned economic policy speech in Detroit on Monday. Trump is slated to detail personal and corporate tax cuts as well as energy and health-care policy changes aimed to boost American economic growth.

"It's going to be a very substantial pro-growth message," Larry Kudlow, a senior CNBC contributor and informal adviser to the Trump campaign, said Thursday.

If the media will only get off their Khan obsession, or else go after Khan and all his dealings.

It is comical how Trump is attacked for 'mean' comments, but Hillary has a history of cursing, abusing and degrading those who work for her, from staff to secret service etc... ZERO attention from the mainstream media. Sick.

Maybe Trump should get off his Khan obsession, as he's the guy rolling out the red carpet for the media to keep giving it play.

A policy team of CEOs and hedge fund managers.

I'm not surprised but I'm not impressed.

Yeah, Trump can choose to just STFU regarding one topic and focus on others. It's time to sway the fringe voters, or not...LOL

I'm sure QO doesn't get this. Talk about out of fucking touch.
