    Our representatives are supposed to be representative of us...not a special class or occupation- more like participation.

    First off there both left wing and to split hairs between a RIno and Dino shows a marked lack of understanding. The parties you mention exist in name only ...so let's stop that left wing shuck and jive flush your vote spin. Spin is just another name for deceit. You want to spank one of your hands for what the other hand is doing? Nonsense. The answer is none of them . Same party, same Government over Citizens goals - zero difference. Not justify your choice and acceptance of having four socialist socialist choice perhaps one of them is National Socialist the rest International socialist.

    Your take on the last two are also incorrect. They are part of a group that now holds 44% to 46% of the electorate while Rino left 26% and Dino 29% --- so far 55 percent. All of your choices will result in kissing what's left of the constitution goodbye...and won't affect life as we know it today one little bit. Your three choices are give up, cave, and quit. That's as nice as care to be today. No it won't occur...but even if it did. Are morals, values and ethics any the less valid? When the going gets tough you need more than Charmin.

    Hows that for being nice! It's a real world view;

    Being an Electrical Engineer and Project Manager on projects you are correct. The leader of the team should act in accordance in the manner you suggest. However, in America a Republic with a Constitution that clearly states it is We the People that are in charge. Therefore those elected are representative and not leaders or rulers.

    Your conscience is far far more liberal than mine. A common factor in those who support evil. (your public confession not my opinion. )

    Who respects Trump in business? Not me. Maybe Sarah Palin? A guy handed a bunch of money by his dad, that couldn't advance it better than a child investing in the S&P, is NOT a businessman. What contribution has he made that was not a paid contribution to politicians supporting him in eminent domain. Saying ridiculous, non-implementable policies like no muslim immigrants. Trump is a spoiled child.

    The problem with republicans is they are all religious zealots. However, Cruz is the only one also seeking small government...the only one. Wait, let me think, yep... the only one.

    Trump, the respecter of Putin, lover of eminent domain, patron of politicians, builder of giant walls isn't one of them. If he were really a businessman and not an actor, he'd have gotten someone to explain some basics of what we can actually do to solve problems, versus railing like a child and appealing to fools at Walmart.

    I am no supporter of religion, as many here will attest. However, Cruz's zealotry contributes to exactly what that would be in his power? If he votes with Congress, with bills starting in the Ryan House, we might actually, for the first time in...forever...

    Correct, we were not to be ruled, originally we were empowered to rule ourselves but progressives have seen to that by making many over the years, just as incompetent as they are.

    Post Script: I saw the show and listen to the psyc-on trump. Have to say, I saw the same things...he's not fit to rule either.

    We have seen how voting for evil works for the past 30+ years. You want to keep doing it, go ahead. How it works: vote for evil, you get evil.
    If you alone vote for the GOP they don't win either. Obviously it takes a lot of GOP supporters to vote for principle instead of voting for evil. Using that as an excuse to continue voting for evil and sacrificing your principles is reprehensible.

    Trump claims repeatedly that he will fix it all.
    In fact he is clueless.
    HRM Donnie, prove it or shut up you arrogant windbag.

    Unfortunately Trump isn't competent or trustworthy to do so. If, as president, he screws the Chinese/Russians/Indians in a deal like he has his partners in business it could lead to war, not just to a minor lawsuit where he can use the legal system to his personal advantage regardless of ethics. The competition has a billion people, 3 million square miles of resources, their own currency, and the US owes them hundreds of billions of USD. Trump as a businessman has only selected partners he could take advantage of. The POTUS doesn't have that luxury when dealing with China and Russia. They are the competitors Trump has to face. Trump is completely unprepared for real competition. Trump is an empty suit.

    You know what he wants you to know. He runs looter businesses and when he fails he screws his "partners" to enrich himself.
    (But we have already had this discussion, term2, just had to put in my opinion, too;^)

    Nevada has the best third party option. On the ballots is actually the choice of "None of the above".

    But I'm not sure about the presidential ballot.

    Personally I have no problem with her doing it for herself. Some of the best things happen due to self interest. What I do have a problem with is how it's achieved. Her motto appears to be by whatever means necessary and it does not matter who she destroys in the process. The Donald is the same IMHO.

    I take it you are more interested in what Hillary or Sanders is selling? Because that is who we will get if not for Trump I think.

    Trump will get respect for the USA from other countries, just as he does in business. Cruz is a religious zealot as is Rubio and Carson. Bush and Hillary are old time politicians who are bought from powerful people. Sanders might just be the last president of the USA, as he would wipe out the last of the ideals in the constitution.

    Agree. There have been zillions of bankruptcies that resulted from "bad luck," "acts of God," and various and sundry events, not within the scope of normal business expectations. And, for the most part, the process of bankruptcy enabled a reasonable recovery period that did not result in total disaster.

    No matter what you say, there are going to be two choices for president in 2016. This is mob rule, and there arent enough freedom loving people left to make up a majority here in the USA>

    Obama increased the speed of the decliine by a lot. Sanders would sink us quickly into a pit from which we would never recover.

    How much goodness in a candidate is required to NOT call them EVIL? Even Ayn Rand herself wasnt 100% good when it came down to her being mad at Nathaniel Branded that he didnt consider HER #1 romantic partner.

    If not voting added to the total vote and therefore subtracted from the impact of the votes cast for the candidates, I would agree with you. BUT, thats not how it works. Not voting for Trump will guarantee either Hillary or Sanders gets to be president for the next 4 years.
