And who really wins??? If they sides don't come together, we will continue the current trend. One side doesn't have all the answers and that's the problem, all of them, including independents think they have the answers. Politics!!!

Either way the American people lose. We need to support third parties, instead of the same old corrupt politicians. One political party more than Cuba enjoys, is not enough.

Does it matter? Things will not change. Niether party wants to work with the other one.

We can't go with the trickle down effect and we also can go completely government. Neither has worked in the past. There has to be some middle ground. Thoughts?

Just MHO, but political parties are what keep getting us into messes like government shut downs and the inability to pass effective and meaningful legislation. The party seems to come first before We The People when Congress votes. Notice how everyone gets upset at those that "cross party lines" and the media makes a big deal about it. Mid term elections - throw one party out so the other can take charge, yet nothing changes. The president is from this party and the congress is controlled by the other party so they don't get alone. The parties don't suffer, We The People take the brunt of the "abuse of power"

Elected officials need to vote their conscience and the will of their constituents - the MAJORITY of their constituent not the highest paying ones. Only then, IMHO, will we get things back on track.

I'm sorry, I don't want them to work with liberals. I want them to do what's right whichever party wins, unfortunately it will be Hilary because people don't follow the news, or they listen to social media and get their news that way. they need to start listening more to the old-fashioned newspaper

It doesn't matter because all the politicians only are out for their own success and they are not concerned with what needs to be done but only with what they can gain.

Finally a candidate we can get behind? I feel very strongly that the Commander in Chief should be a veteran (not a draft dodger or someone who only served in the Guard).

We need a strong military as a deterrent force, not necessarily to engage in every little issue around the globe. Some previous POTUS's have been far too quick to send out the troops. The exceptions tend to be the ones who know what it means to serve and deploy...

Can he get past the Hilary machine?

Jim Webb, Former Navy Secretary and Senator, to Run for President

I don't care for any of them. Unless something changes drastically, I plan to write in, James N. Mattis. We need leadership, not rhetoric.
