Are we doomed? - 2016 Election?

[Korora]

Well honestly if you think about it we are ran by political leaders who have no plans to help anyone else but themselves, just like the upcoming 2016 election for presidency - everyone is scavenging and wondering who they should vote for.

If you aren't sure who is currently running for the presidential spot you may find out by going Here.

The main 3 people who are gaining a lot of attention are: Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and John McAfee.

Hillary Clinton is a sell-out, and Donald Trump is just a tool, but the only one (that I fell) has the best chance of gaining it and doing something with it is John McAfee.

But the only problem is he has absolutely no political background at all, but then again the reason why I said he might be the best one to get it is because he is from the Internet. He's know how hard times are - how everything is corrupt - and that change needs to happen really soon.

I feel like us having a leadership role over the United States is absolutely wrong, everyone that gets into office makes things hard for the middle class and the lower class and other citizens. Everything should be rerouted and done a whole different way besides the way it is done now. Sure we need laws and things along the line to make sure criminal activities are illegal and can't be preformed but the government is ruining out lives without most of us realizing. Cops are beating the innocent, the government is forcing the U.S. to be corrupt, the NSA is spying on its citizens for no reason, we are just going no where in life.

I think Carly would be the best bet for the nation if she was to get the nomination, all her answers have been strong and she knows how to lead, and the fact that she's the only one not taking jabs at other people like everyone else is. 😛

Hillary for the win though if she does get the nomination, I think she'd be pretty good. 😀



I think either way we are doomed in some kind of way, we are doomed right now according to people across the states, it's just a matter of opinion I guess.

We aren't "doomed". 😛 American politicians have been getting more and more corrupt. With that being said, America needs a change. The middle class, and working lower class has been forgotten about. With that being said; I believe Donald Trump is the best candidate for president. He and Hillary are the only to I currently see having a viable shot at presidency. Hillary I just don't feel like will change things. We need change, and people to pay attention to the middle class. Hillary is a life-long politician, and I don't feel like she actually understands the common man. I'm not a huge fan of Trump, but he at least tells it how it actually is.

I really really hope Hilary Clinton doesn't get elected. I think we will be doomed then.

I'm pretty sure McAfee is certifiably insane. I don't think he's going to be president, nor should he. 😛

Anyway, I don't think anyone's perfect for the job, but that doesn't mean that one of the candidates wouldn't be a good president. The president isn't god: even if your least favorite candidate is elected, his power to change things is relatively minimal. Look at how little Obama got done compared to what he said he wanted to do. Look at Bush too. Both of them even had supermajority congresses at one point, right?

The President's foremost job in my book (many people will disagree on this) is to represent the united states in front of foreign leaders. The constitution technically says that the President should defend -- guess what -- the constitution, but to be honest, I think that's what the courts are for. In the modern age when diplomacy is a matter of picking up a phone rather than sending delegations on month long journeys across the ocean, the person at the top is the person that deals with other countries. And for America to be great, America must maintain strong relationships with other countries, particularly the countries which have what we need (resources, manufacturing, etc).

To do this, America has to be strong, and also has to be willing to come to the table and negotiate. Obama has done a decent job at this, although I don't think he's naturally inclined to foreign policy, so he has made many mistakes. Of course, not all foreign leaders are either, so it's not the end of the world. But to obtain the maximum benefit to America, I think the best choices would be ones like Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump. Both of them know how to project power, and also how to negotiate. These are good combinations in a world leader. Both come from very different backgrounds, from different parties, and have different qualifications, but both represent the same general skill set.

How about Bernie Sanders. He's getting some attention I hear.

I agree with him most on domestic issues, although I don't think that he'd be a strong foreign policy President, which is what I value the most. I would rank him right after Trump and Hillary in my preferences though.

On the subject of his electability: I don't think he has much of a chance at all.

Don't worry, the media will feed you with the candidates that are 'more likely to make it'.

I for one may or may not vote this time around. I refuse to pick the lesser of two evils.

 

[Kino]

Here is what I say every election - out of all of the millions of people we have in this country - this is the best selection?

 

[WGSecurity]

I think he may have a chance. Hes outvoted hillary in more than two states.

 

[MrDawn]

Naw. We're not doomed. We've survived all of the other presidents. 😀
