Are there any candidates that you like? If so, why have they received your approval?
This is open to U.S. citizens and everyone else because, even though some of you cannot vote for them, who is in the White House matters to the entire human population.
I like, literally, none of them. Not a single one. And if it came down to a lesser of evils, I would either write-in a candidate or abstain from voting altogether.

Re: >>>>>>>>>>VOTE 2016<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Right now im leaning toward Bernie Sanders. The way I see it, only certain candidates will ever actually have a chance at winning, so I pick between them.
I think at EvC we'll probably find that most people would prefer Bernie which is vastly better than many of the other candidates. However, I really don't like his economic policies and militarily he seems nave. Putin would walk all over him.
Hillary is smart, but I dont like her overall world view.
Smart in the sense of conniving or cunning, yeah.

Donald Trump is a fascist reactionary
Not to mention dangerous to the safety and security of the United States and abroad. To think of him on the pulse of a nuclear warhead is beyond frightening. He thinks this is one big game of Monopoly or an extension of his reality tv show.
Of course, the other GOP candidates can be summarily dismissed, too
I was hoping Rand Paul might be a little bit more like his father, and while there are elements of his father's ideals, he's a far cry from Ron. Ted Cruz is a self-loathing homosexual and a conniving rat. As much as Trump is wrong on just about everything, he is right about Jeb Bush who is incompetent, weak, and ineffectual.
Hillary Clinton is a warhawk and overall seems to pander -- for purposes of political expediency -- to whatever zeitgeist exists, making her more of an opportunist than anything else.
Hilary is the Devil, plain and simple. She covets power above all else and perfectly embodies the mind of a megalomaniac. She too is dangerous to America's safety and security.
Bernie Sanders, then, seems to be the best candidate. Of course, there are the hysterical cries of, "Well, he's a socialist!" Yes, and the U.S. has been a semi-socialist democracy for quite some time now.
But at least he's open about it! He's the only American socialist to be honest about his position. That, if nothing else, earns some respect in my book considering how many other Democrats have tried valiantly to hide it all costs.

Re: A Bit Puzzled
No, I don't have any insider information, it is admittedly purely speculative. My only reason for mentioning it is to demonstrate what level of duplicity people who want to run for president will go through. It's speaks highly of a persons lack of character and integrity to hide something like that just so they can be in charge of shit -- the near universal character trait of people who want to be president. I'm sure we can all appreciate the irony of the army of self-loathing homosexuals within the GOP who would cast stones while secretly banging gay, meth-addled hookers. My point is, he is as fake as it gets.
Hilary is in that exact same boat, only she doesn't hate homosexuals, she just denies being one. But she shares the same duplicitous nature and insatiable lust for power that Cruz does.
And Trump, well, no explanation necessary. The man is bat-shit insane
