Ok, RP. The two month countdown to the 2016 election begins today. Primaries are the crawl phase, and campaigning is the walk phase. This is the running phase of the election. Lots of talk has been directed at who would make a better commander in chief, but which candidate has the skills of a chief executive? Which candidate is likely to address egalitarian concerns of the general electorate? What is the public looking for this election cycle?

While I'm no Trump fanboy, I simply can't get behind someone who has proven herself to have no integrity no matter how much experience she has. Let's face it, both sides of the aisle have placed the country into the position we are currently in so why not try out a non-lawyer/politician and try a businessmen for a change. If he fails, vote him out in 4 years.

It's not the candidates who worry me. There were almost 20 Republicans running and it all boils down to Donald Trump, an outsider. I too am not a big fam of Trump. B ut I ma realistic. Hillary Clinton is the Malificent of today.

I fail to see her shortcomings as any worse than her male predecessors. Yes, she is without integrity, as well as most of our past political leaders. I'm all about moving in a new direction, but when the known quantity will maintain the status quo and the unknown quantity says he's going to burn it down, the choice is clear for me.

"If he fails, vote him out in 4 years." Sounds like a great idea... if we survive that long. =\

This is virtually impossible to answer in the manner you expect. We never really know what to "expect". We vote more on hope (not the kind of "hope" that Obama promised). As I see it now, I don't have a clue of what to expect from a Trump Administration. I wish that he would publish his slate of Cabinet Officers. That would help. I fully expect a continuation of the main feature of the Obama Administration if Hillary is elected; specifically, a failure to take responsibility. Obama is infamous for ducking responsibility and so is Hillary. To be fair, I was astounded when she sort of took responsibility for her vote on the Iraq war, but then restored my faith by immediately distancing herself from it. What we need now more than ever is a sense of responsibility in the White House. Responsibility is a fundamental American trait. How can we trust any citizen with freedom if they won't take responsibility for their actions? How can we then trust a President who won't take responsibility for their decisions?

CPT Jack Durish - Just remember that in previous years there was no ass, and the first guy from the video stated I payed for that ass. Only way to know would be to see how she floats.

CPT Jack Durish - I appreciate all of the responses. I have no expectations or requirements as to any of the RP participants who find it in their interest to comment.

CPT Jack Durish I did not vote for POTUS Obama. Truthfully, I did expect him to deliver on: Hope, change and an 'open' government!
