I'm really gonna hate voting in the next election. Would love to vote Republican but to me it seems like every candidate is at satirical levels of right wing politics. And currently it seems the only relevant democrats are Hillary and Sanders; Hillary is awful for a plethora of reasons, and all of the things Sanders is promising are impossible or impractical.
At this point I don't even care about voting for someone I agree with, I just want a candidate who has the slightest grasp of economics, or isn't an absolute asshat.

I think people make judgments about Trump's level of intelligence because he says things that aren't politically correct, but there's no correlation there. He's clearly an intelligent and accomplished guy.
In the past 8 years, America has taken on this burden of being babysitter for countries in the Middle East and I hate it. When problems occur over there, we don't have to intervene and waste billions of dollars trying to stabilize these regions, but we do it, we get **** on for it, and we fail. We seem to inhibit ourselves by playing by rules that the people who attack and steal from us don't.
I have no opinion on if we should have a temporary ban from Muslims entering the US, but it's just funny to me that people act like that's the most horrific thing they've ever heard. Really? We don't have the right to protect ourselves until we're assured we've got the right intelligence and understanding of the problem? People try to apply our Constitution to people who aren't even legal citizens of our country yet, I don't understand.

I agree with this most of this post. I highly doubt Trump believes most of what he says, its just fear mongering and riling up old people so he can rake in votes from the only people that actually vote.
