I'm not a huge fan of trump, but I honestly think he's better than all the other candidates that actually stand a chance. I originally supported Rand Paul, but it's pretty clear he doesn't stand a chance of winning the primary, so I've given up on that.

Ben Carson is too conservative for me. I think he's too sheltered in his views and is unlikely to accept new ideas. This is a problem, because it seems like his decisions are influenced more by his values than an open mind.

Bernie Sanders has a poor understanding of economics and is trying to take on a role he can't handle. While I do think he has mostly good intents, I don't think his decision making will lead America to improve. I think he's very similar to Obama- amazing at getting the public excited and making good promises that sound good on paper, but ultimately has no idea how to make those promises actually work. For example, Obamacare was a complete failure and made health care LESS affordable. Many of his proposals would backfire and damage the economy in the long term. For example, raising the federal minimum wage to $15, and increasing benefits, will cause a push for automation and cutting jobs, leading to mass unemployment.

With Hillary Clinton, there's a few things I like, but far too many things that bother me. I like her support of small businesses and the middle class, and trying to bring back profit sharing in corporations(profit sharing basically makes it so everyone in the company receives a share of profits and not just the top level executives). However, a lot of her stances on other issues bother me severely, I won't go into detail because I don't want drama. And then of course, there's the whole email thing-can you really trust her?\

I honestly hate all of the candidates for the most part. The only reason I support Trump is because I know that he has experience running a business, and isn't being funded by lobbyists, so I know he has the best chance at fixing the economy unlike the other candidates that mainly just try to push ideals. Trump is upfront with his beliefs, doesn't sugar coat anything, doesn't take contributions, and seems to have the most powerful background in economics. For this reason I currently support him. I may disagree with some of his personal views, but the same is true of other candidates, so at least he's our best hope of fixing our horrible economy.

Pretty much every candidate promises to fix corporate tax loopholes, but it never happens. I'd think Trump probably would be the best at achieving this, because he's owned a business for years and is familiar with how businesses operate.
