The 2016 presidential-race has been an interesting one to say the least. We have seen a socialist achieve far greater success than anyone had expected, while also seeing a verbal loose-cannon run away with the GOP race. Though many believe Hillary Clinton to have the Democratic Nomination locked-in and Donald Trump to have the Republican Nomination, the race is still very much anybody's game right now. Bernie Sanders has been gaining some unexpected momentum and winning over a lot of votes from both Democrats and Republicans, while Ted Cruz is right behind Trump and probably the biggest threat to the Trump campaign.
But as a registered Independent who tries to remain a centrist, I have found that no matter who our next president is, they will have half the country consistently degrading them hoping that they reach their political demise. The people of the United States of America seems to crave drama; that is why we never seem to see the two political sides come together to resolve issues. We always see one side try to take over the other. But they never do. They just stay on their side of the playground, and no one wants to be friends. That's the unfortunate country we live in. So instead of voicing a solution to this problem, I will do my American duty and join the negativity but listing off why every candidate for president flat out sucks. Here we go.
1. Marco Rubio
Every Republican debate for this race has always featured an overbearing amount of negative rhetoric towards President Obama. However, no one bashes Obama at the debates like Marco. Marco Rubio bashes Obama like Obama didn't invite him to his birthday party and Marco has held a grudge ever since.
Hey, Marco, telling me about how bad Obama was/is as a president tells me nothing about how you are going to be as president. Rubio seems like the guy who'd get into office and just start pointing fingers rather than really make any sort of difference. He seems like he was the hall monitor everyone hated in school. Next.
2. Hillary Clinton
This woman scares me. Her ties to Wall St. and corporate interests, her shadiness behind the Benghazi incident and the on-going investigation taking place, her use of irrelevant events and points to try to win over an argument such as invoking 9/11 or playing the gender card calling Bernie Sanders' supporters "sexist" for not voting for her.
Gender does not determine your ability to run the country; for someone who plays the gender card as much as her, I feel that should be said. There will be a time for a woman president, but for the love of God, not her.
3. Ted Cruz
This man is just nuts. Perhaps he was just too excited, but for you to tell an audience that you will carpet bomb the Middle East until the sand glows? Come on, dude. I'm all for cutting the head off of the ISIS snake, but that method is straight up careless. You have these people known as innocent civilians that live in the Middle East. I'm not crazy about having homosexuals getting their rights taken away after working so hard to get them, or having women's bodies be viewed as machines and denying them the right to choose between having an illegitimate child or an abortion, or having someone who supports dictators in the Middle East just because they are more organized than the many terrorist groups. He also looks like Toad from Frog and Toad:
You can't have a Bible-thumping Tea-Party senator in office; there's a such thing as too conservative, and that's Ted Cruz. Ted is the reason why we need to have complete separation of church and state. He would bring us back a few decades. Next.
4. John Kasich
This man sucks because he hired the worst campaign manager, or he's doing something very wrong behind the scenes because he was the most qualified candidate the GOP had to offer. Kasich does not use rhetoric or embellished facts to make his points. He simply references his track record as Governor of Ohio. This man is able to back up everything he says with no loose ends in his arguments. Notice how no one attacks him much or challenges him. John Kasich would make an amazing president, yet Republicans have shot Trump and Cruz to the top. So Kasich just sucks at marketing and PR, I guess. He's turned in to the Republican Bernie Sanders in the sense that people say, "I'd vote for Kasich; but he's last and can't win." This is America. Vote for who you want. Try next time, Johnny Boy, the GOP needs more heads like you.
5. Bernie Sanders
Bernie sucks for a number of reasons. Bernie has amplified the voices of a lot of educated Americans who believe in a democratic socialist government, and it has been a historical movement. However, he has also created this unbearable wave of pompous, liberal college students who have no idea what they are talking about and are voting for him for the wrong reasons. These bitchy betas are ones who try to hide away from the evils of he world and get offended by absolutely everything. Then, when someone calls a girl and girl and not a heteronormative female, they jump to "Bernie Sanders will fix all of this!". You guys give him a bad name; just be quite and let the man run his campaign.
Bernie at first seemed to be the only human running for president alongside of John Kasich. Aside from his socialist economic policy, he seemed to be a candidate for all of the American people and not just the left side. He had spoken about compromising issues rather than combating them with policies that would not go over well with the other side, such as gun control. However, he has since drifted, most likely in effort to gain the votes of the far-left voters, which he needs to pick up in order to beat Hillary.
He's also a broken record; not just for this campaign but for the past 30 years, he's been saying the same damn thing over and over. Not to say he doesn't raise valid points; but Bernie, you sound like Rubio with his condemnations for Obama. Spice it up a little. Throw some new words and phrases in there. Or.. sing it!
6. Donald Trump
Where to begin, the toupee? Trump will likely be our GOP nominee, and that's bad - not because he said mean things about Mexicans (he didn't say Mexicans were rapists and criminals; he said criminals are coming from Mexico, which they are. That's a fact. But that is not calling all Mexicans criminals.) Trump is bad for the country for a few reasons.
1. He has not held a consistent view on anything except his wall he wants to build.
2. If he cannot defend himself with facts, he uses insults and bullying - kinda like how, when Waka Flocka Flame can't finish a verse, he just screams.
3. He looks like a dysfunctional robot the way he flails his arms.
4. He has too many 'good friends of his,' which seems like they could be anyone at this point. A large circle means less trustworthy.
5. You cannot run a country the way he runs The Trump Organization. This is not your company's money anymore; it's the taxpayers'.
Trump has made very risky investments, many which have failed and he is being sued for (i.e. Trump University). His best skill is talking to people and getting a certain group of people to like him in order to negotiate. He is a professional at speaking and putting on masks. That isn't good for president, and it tells us nothing about his ability to run the country. So, for all we know right now, the GOP front runner could be as useful as a monkey.
and then there is this..
You're going to make America great again by making your products in foreign economies? That goes against everything you have been saying about America losing jobs to China and Mexico. This is why we cannot trust him as president; he is simply all talk.
Well, there you have it! We're getting screwed, one way or another. But there is light at the end of the tunnel, with shitty leadership comes great rock music!
