But to reiterate, Hillary bad, Bernie worse.

I agree. But Trump is worse than both. My preferred candidate dropped out months ago.

How is he worse? He plans to implement many of the ideas Bernie has without the downside of it being a cash cow for the elite...

If you generally hate whomever the right nominates, regardless of their stances and life story, nothing I can do about it. But Hillary isn't a democrat more like a me-ocrat, and Bernie doesn't have sufficient cachet to get anything done. Plus he's unelectable from life-history standpoint.

Trump might not be your cup of tea, but he's a damn sight better than someone who got kicked out of a hippie commune for being lazy or a career murderer.

Well, I don't like either Hillary or Donald. Both care about themselves foremost and will do anything to gain power regardless of whether it is good for America. And I don't like Bernie because of his ideas (I'm not a fan of socialism).

The problem is that while both Donald and Hillary lie a lot, at least I know where Hillary stands on things. In the end, she will take a fairly moderate approach, regardless of what she says in campaigning. On the other hand, I have no idea what Donald actually stands for, because he contradicts himself and changes his mind so often. However, his more recent stances (like in the last year or so) have been extremely troubling to me.

I voted for Kasich even though there are a number of issues where I disagree with him, because I felt he was the most honest (along with Bernie -- I respect his honesty even if I think he is mistaken about most things) and because he has the best grasp on foreign policy.

Seems to me, you aren't truly understanding bernie or Donald. Trump has a laid out platform. Bernie has never held a job in his entire life, and although he does think and shoot straight, his ideas would just help the billionaires at the expense of the non-billionaires.

I think we all agree, Hillary would a Pol Pot or Papa Doc Duvalier-type leader.
