I'm not against her being a woman but she's an awful person who doesn't deserve to be the representative of the country.
Bearing witness that I, Bloody Rayne,
WAS NOT THE ONE WHO OPENED THE CAN OF POLITICAL WORMS IN THIS THREAD, I shall now give my two cents.
Morally, I prefer Doctor Ben Carson. I've followed his career with great interest and I believe he is, without a doubt, the man with the best moral fiber and character in this election. But, he's far from electable, which is a damn shame.
Next, we have Ted Cruz, who called out
his own party leadership for being filthy liars ON THE SENATE FLOOR. IN THOSE WORDS. His record is that of a man who stands for the Constitution and calls things as he sees them with minimal sugarcoating, and I have observed him to be a man of excellent quality.
Marco Rubio is the third that I favor, as while many lambaste his role in the so-called "Gang of Eight" bill, I refuse because I can see the greater principle behind it: Rubio is a man of great conviction, like Ted Cruz or Doctor Carson, but he is also willing and able to involve his political opposition in the legislative process in a way they will accept, which is a valuable ability for any world leader, and the Republican's patron saint, Ronald Reagan, also exhibited these qualities.
On the Democrat side, it's slim pickings this time around, and I cannot in any way say anything favorable about Hilary Clinton. She's a scoundrel, a thief, and a documented liar. Furthermore, she is under active FBI investigation for federal felonies, and a charge of treason may actually result if they find enough substantive evidence, which by their own admission, they almost have enough already to pull that off. She shouldn't be running at all until she is acquitted on those grounds alone.
Bernie Sanders, I respect. His knowledge of how economics and international politics work is frighteningly lacking, but the man has a good heart, a consistent voting record, no meaningful criminal activity on his record, a keen sense of what's wrong in the country (I don't care much for his solutions, but a reliable ear to the ground is much better than nothing) and he's starkly honest. If Sanders could convince me that he could counter his shortcomings with a decent bipartisan cabinet, he'd stand a chance at getting my vote.
Donald Trump is a man I trust about as far as I can throw him (which is about as far as I can throw Clinton), so Trump or Clinton is elected, I might be sorely tempted to winter over in Norway for 4 or so years and get in touch with my ancestral roots while I wait for someone more qualified for the job.
