I am the type of person who keeps my political opinions to myself. However, at times, my Russian boyfriend gets the total rant and rampage of my political thoughts and opinions. His input on the upcoming presidential election is thought-provoking and sometimes quite hilarious.

He has given me permission to share his thoughts about the election and the candidates with everyone, but I will not include his name. He will simply be referred to (by permission) as "the Russian." Please take into consideration that neither of us have a lot of political background and that these are just interesting thoughts provided by someone who is looking into American politics.

Let us begin with what I presume to be the crowd favorite, given what I read on Facebook: Bernie Sanders. If Bernie Sanders were to get elected, the Russian says that it will be difficult for him to handle foreign policies, especially Russia. However, he thinks that Sanders' focus will remain on that within the United States. He also believes that it will be difficult for the overall American population to change and accept democratic socialism. If Bernie Sanders were to get elected for both terms, then the Russian believes that he might have a shot at changing the American economy.

Staying with the Democratic front-runners, we will now digress to the Russian's thoughts on Hillary Clinton. With a slight tilt-back of his head, the Russian gave out a small laugh. He said, "I have no comment on Hillary Clinton," and he continued on with his homework.

Now, we shift into a few of the Republican candidates. Let us start with Ted Cruz. The Russian states, "I don't even know who that is." I do not think that he even cares about who that is, but I showed him a picture anyway. Upon seeing this man, he stated, "He looks like a good guy to play the Penguin in Batman." I burst into laughter at this point and so we moved on.

Now, these are the Russian's thoughts about the spectacle that is Donald Trump. He said, "He will bring American down because he does not know when to be quiet. If he changed his attitude, then maybe, but so far, nope." The Russian also told me about how Vladimir Putin, President of Russian, thinks that Trump is funny to the point that Trump had best realize not to mess with Russia. All in all, the Russian thinks that Trump is an idiot, to say the least.

There are just too many candidates to really ask about them all and if he doesn't know about Ted Cruz, then I am not going to press any further questions. In conclusion, the Russian added, "I do not think if I could vote, that I would vote for any of these four people." I won't express my political opinions in this article, however, I hope that you found this enlightening and a tad bit humorous when compared to some of the other political articles that you may come across.
