Not my boy.

I am saddened by the options for the next American President.

It's as if we had to choose from amonst donnie, azzanni, jancek, Sal, dooley, or kiffin to be the next Tennessee head coach in football. It would horrify me at the future of our program.

That's how I feel about this Presidential election, horrified.

Sorry Doc. Who do you like? That's hilarious :) I'd say out of that list, I'd go with Jancek or Kiffin sadly

Major issues I have with him:

Wants to raise the retirement age to 70 or 72. That's akin to companies robbing people of their pension. Average age of death is 75. People get to draw for three years after paying in over a lifetime?

Its not going to even be there in our current system so he is trying to fix what is about to disappear.

Reducing our military by 43%? Really? Take care of our own. Monroe Doctrine. Our military like the rest of our government is bloated. I worked for the D.O.D. for 8 years trust me on this.



Wants to reduce the federal budget by almost 50%? I'm all for a smaller government but that's laughable. Its definitely something to shoot for!

Wants to open the borders with Mexico? This stands on its own. Its already open! Hello! Come to Texas with me let me show you! Its like the drug war, why fight a losing battle?

Wants Dr's to be able to prescribe heroin? They do anyway, how many prescribed drugs are derivatives? That should be the least of our worries.

I've seen enough. And, my leanings are libertarian. Fine. Vote for the other two ineffective crooked parties that have us where we are today. Vote for more of the same.

Ok, I personally think this was one the best lot of candidates to choose from in a Republican primary in along time. I hear a lot of you think it stinks, so I'm curious, who is it that each of you wish was running?

1) Trump is actually rather socially moderate, minus Obamacare.

2) He is strongest on border security and illegal immigration

3) He's not a politician/not bought out by Goldman Sachs or wall street

4) He had enough insight to see the Iraq war was a bad idea, as well as the Brussels attack

5) He's very anti PC and unfiltered. Not afraid to speak his mind

6) He wants to stop being the world's police, make others pay for their own wars

7) Wants to get rid of superPAC and help change the awful election system

8) Dealing with China and Mexico trade and currency devaluation

9) A 10 billion dollar business surely could help the economy

10) Strongly anti TPP and NAFTA

***Oops I misread your post, thought you were asking what you like about your candidate, Nevermind!***

Lol, that's okay. But, seriously, I feel like we've had a great field of Republican candidates compared to past elections. It had a guy or two for everyone's tastes. It was very diverse and filled with new blood. I don't understand what's not to like.

Well then just go ahead and abolish it. Quit taking the money of hard working American's under the pretense that they'll be taken care of when they get old.

I don't claim that there is not waste in the DOD. We need a strong military though and we saw the results of a reduction of spending in our military when Carter couldn't get a freakin' helo of the ground in an attempt to rescue our hostages in Iran.

Wants to open the borders with Mexico? This stands on its own. Its already open! Hello! Come to Texas with me let me show you! Its like the drug war, why fight a losing battle? Are you saying we don't ever intercept bad guys or contraband from coming across the border? The reason many of the illegals coming across the border are for a free education and healthcare. Do you not see the catastrophic effect it would have on our economy?

Wants Dr's to be able to prescribe heroin? They do anyway, how many prescribed drugs are derivatives? That should be the least of our worries. So we need to make sure our healthcare system covers heroin addiction too? I'm sure these addicts are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves and supporting their habbits.

The basic thing about libertarianism is do whatever you want as long as it doesn't have an adverse effect on others. Many of these proposals are just the opposite. The implications are disastrous.

I've seen enough. And, my leanings are libertarian. Fine. Vote for the other two ineffective crooked parties that have us where we are today. Vote for more of the same.

Like I said, I hate having to vote for the lessor of two evils. This guy gives me nothing to cause me to reconsider.
