Neutralist /Slightly Right-of-Center voter.

This whole campaign has been a roller-coaster, I had three horses in the Republican race but they all fell out due to the race becoming a reality TV show. I was worried they'd do this after following the 2008 primary, and yet they just let everything descend into chaos once more, this helps no-one. You almost do need a tight fist like the DNC in order to come out strong, otherwise you get this bullshit.

I'm a little dismayed at the media, for the usual reasons as well as the treatment of Third Parties. It's no secret that the media will select only a few candidates from each party to follow, but they do usually give cursory treatment to the others. They don't even acknowledge the third parties as existing however. Like voting outside of the two is some kind of unspoken heresy. Washington is rolling in his grave.

I honestly just shake my head at all the Sanders supporters, what the fuck did you expect? This was Hillary's game the second Obama won, there would have been no chance in hell that Sanders would have gotten it. The guy has a nice attitude, sure, but I don't need to like the president, I need to be lead by them. And in the end, Sanders is one of many candidates who can stir up a storm with promises alone, the similarity to Trump is chilling. His campain boiled down to "wew free stuff!", and there was nothing realistic about it.

I've done some research, need to do more, but I'm firmly in the Hillary camp right now. All politicians lie, all parties have repulsive members, but Hillary is the only proven one here, if you look in the past she has a mix of progressiveness and conservatism that I want to see. I think we'd have a solid presidency once the hype died down.

I might just vote Trump though, just because I think he's the president we deserve. I have a morbid curiosity just to see it go down, just to watch it all get fucked. In the last year, I've seen my dad go from a quiet, hard-working conservative to a publicly hateful, racist radical. The Trump phenomenon did this, imagine what would happen after 4 years?

If Trump gets elected, I want to see what happens when he ends up having to play the game. When Trump first starts making deals and toning his shit down, like most presidents pretty much always have to do, how will an electorate who elected him based on some hope they could change DC with one president end up reacting? Usually it just comes to disappointment and grumbling, but Trump has one of the more visceral bases in recent history. What happens when the alt-right gets disappointed?

We really need an advanced virtual reality simulation which is capable of simulating the real world to maximum accuracy, factoring in everything from the calculated to the random.

Because right now, people are satisfying their aforementioned morbid curiosities in the actual real world, potentially fucking shit up for their millions of less-curious fellows. It's happened once already, and there is still a way too great of a chance it will happen once again.

HURRY UP, SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING!

What you are saying is that someone needs to come up with a "Trump Simulator 2017"

Because that really would be pretty fucking boss. I'll play with cheat codes though so I can build the internment camps right at the beginning. Never did like the part where you have to build up small before you can afford the big stuff.

You never have to build up small. You start with a small loan of a million dollars!

Gary Johnson is also deciding to run. He's at least as proven as Clinton, and not nearly as untrustworthy.
