Growing up in Vermont, I’m a little biased towards Sanders anyways. The fact that I grew up in a place that was run about how Sanders runs things gives him a distinct advantage in getting my vote. I’ve seen what he’s like, seen what he does, and what I’ve seen makes me think that he’s among the best qualified on sheer merit.
So far, I haven’t seen a single viable GOP candidate. The only ones that are pulling decent numbers in the polls are all pandering to the extremist base enough to lose the swing voters (and likely many “traditional” Republicans as well), and the rest don’t really have much shot at the nomination and thus are non-viable simply due to their poor odds of even facing a Democrat next November.
@Jaxk While I can understand how one may gravitate towards Rubio, I cannot for the life of me understand how Fiorina could be considered for executive power beyond the corporate/financial sector. Maybe in the Cabinet, maybe simply as an advisor, but not as a VP.
@Cruiser “More spend now pay later policies is the LAST thing this country needs.”
Quite true. which is why I generally don’t vote Republican. In the decades that I’ve followed politics, I’ve seen a lot more unfunded mandates and even more financial blunders from the Republican side of the fence. Funny how having the same belief can lead people to opposite conclusions.
