From your own political standpoints, which candidate do you feel our country could benefit from? Based on both conscientious reasoning as well as their competence to be adequately knowledgeable within the crisis that is going on within our own country and solutions they might offer to fix it.
I agree with you on the aspect that neither Trump nor Clinton would make advantageous candidates. It is falsely assumed that Trump would do exceptionally well because of his self-made billionaire status and his general capability to run a business. But running the country as a business would not fix all of the currently existing problems within the US. Most people in support of Clinton, simply want to create history by electing our first woman president. But what they don't realize, is that there is plenty of time to create history..and prospectively there will likely be more proficient candidates in the future. We made the very same mistake trying to "make history" electing Barack Obama and he hasn't exactly done anything to benefit our countries population as a whole. He certainly has budged in any form of action to try and even slightly eliminate our countries debts. Why make the same mistake twice? Because history repeats itself.

Presidential CandidatesI currently feel that when I cast my vote during the next Presidential Election - that my choice will simply come down to "the lesser evil" so to speak. Its been some time since there was a candidate that I could really get behind 100%. Anyone else feel the same?

The current debate format is a farce and is nothing more than a slug fest that we watch. The moderators have little to no control over the debaters. John Donvan has a petition that proposes change the current format to the Oxford style format where the debates are done in a civil manner...
