So, who is left: Donald Trump (R): You wanted change, you got change... Trump change! Joe Biden (D): Distracted by shiny objects! Bernie Sanders (I - running as a D, what's up with that?): On a scale of Mao to Stalin, how bad would a president Bernie be? Elizabeth Warren (D): Little Chief Gonna Spend A Lot. Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D): Portrait of a young bull$hit artist. Andrew Yang : Vote for me and I’ll give you $12,000. Mike Bloomberg (?): Who says you can’t buy an election? Tulsi Gabbard (D): I guess it’s true you never piss off the Clintons. Amy Klobuchar (D) and the rest of the also-rans: Who? And then there’s Hillary Clinton (Witch), waiting in the wings for a contested convention so her superdelegates buddies can hand her the nomination: Liar, liar, pantsuit on fire! Personally, when Pelosi, who had to impeach Trump immediately because he was such a threat to the nation, and then waited a month to walk the articles of impeachment in a stupid procession over to the Senate... it was like she was walking with Trump’s reelection papers.

Although the US does embrace some socialistic programs, the US is too diverse and our past and successes are the indication why greater socialism won’t work. Capitalism has done more to lift the world out of poverty than any other economic system ever devised, and that is evident by what the US has become in less than 250 years. Our economic freedom correlates to our greater individual freedom, better health, more educational options, and yes… a cleaner environment. Take the socialistic Great Society programs started in the 60’s. Rather than lift millions out of poverty, our welfare system has trapped millions in poverty and has created generations of people dependent on the government. Everyone here feels temporary safety nets are fine. But when we let people keep more of their own money by cutting individual taxes, letting businesses grow by cutting burdensome regulations and taxes, it paves the way for a growing economy, new jobs, increased wages, and more affordable health care for families. One of the biggest concerns we currently have is our education system has been hijacked by liberals with socialistic tendencies. They teach the younger generation that free markets are tools of exploitation, run by greedy conservatives who place profits above all else. And the something-for-nothing socialists empty rhetoric has a strong appeal amongst the young and gullible. One of the most important goals of conservatives in the US is to become more involved in the education system, but are currently being shut out. It is a war worth fighting for and needs to be undertaken with ferocity. Because today’s democratic party has been overtaken by the radical left who sponsors socialism Trump will probably win by huge numbers. What plays in liberal urban coastal cities does not work for middle America. Sanders and Warren ideals are good representations of what won't work here.

You?

I can hardly bear to catch sight of Hillary Clinton, let alone hear her speak - she is so smug and arrogant. How so many women voters adore her is beyond me. The only candidate I like is Tulsi Gabbard. I like her a hell of a lot. Trump will probably win again. I don't mind. As dreadfully gauche and cringy as he is, he has done as much good and as much bad as any previous incumbent. He is not the monster he is portrayed as, he is just completely uncool and vain. He cannot hide it, like others do. The non stop hysteria in the media that has accompanied this presidency has been surreal and infantile and has weakened the long term reputation of many a media body. The hysteria among ordinary people about Trump is also quite something to behold. It seems very neurotic.
