So, I was a Trump supporter long before he entered the Presidential race in 2016. I was part of the Draft Trump movement. He hasn't been a bad President but I cant support him after the Saudi Arabia mess and all though I support the wall and border security, I believe a pathway to citizenship shouldn't be such a long process and if they pass a deep background check and understand our laws, how our Government works and learn our countries history then let them in.


I also don't agree with his stance on ISIS and pulling out of Syria. Every time we get Al Qaeda on the ropes we back of and they regroup and come back ten times stronger. ISIL originated from Al Qaeda in Iraq after we started pulling troops out.


I cant vote for President Trump and I definitely wont vote for anyone else whos entered the race at this point. However, I would love to see Senator Jim Webb enter the race, I would not only vote for him but would help with his campaign. The man is a war hero and can work across party lines to get things done. He also is a former secretary of defense!


Who are you guys supporting in 2020 or who would you like to see run?

I'm rooting for the American citizens by way of a better electoral system, absolute on running joke the way it is.

I wouldn't know how you could improve it. Large cities have people that have no concept on how life works in the less populated areas. Want to lower the general population numbers? Let the big cities run things. Call it, less food, less people. Two ways that would happen. One, people starve. Two, people get turned into fertilizer stealing food from the rural people who can no longer use the things that made the big crops.

You might not think it's that simple sounding, but it is. Our extravagant system, has never changed since the caveman days. It's just gotten more complicated. We get everything, from just two resources. It's either grown,or mined.


Trump, I'll vote for again. He's not ideal, but miles ahead of all the other crazies that think they can do it better. This Jim Webb you speak of, I've never heard of him before now.

People knew who Trump was long before he ran for president. He was always a "Git her done" sorta guy. A do it now, type.

We didn't have the time sit and study on how it needs to be fixed. Bet it drives him buggy, to see dems throwing bandages on problems. They're really good at doing that. "Oh, lets fiddle with it and make it work." The heck with that, give it a toss, and replace it with something that does.

We're ahead, because Trump tossed aside the stuff that didn't work, or wouldn't without a lot of change happening between time. None of this do now, fix later thinking. Start preparing for tomorrow by starting small today, and working up to it. Then when its put in place, it works.

Someone who puts American Citizens first . Someone who relalizes the security of the US borders are important. Someone who knows how to grow Economy here and make Good. trade deals with other countries. Anyone who does not Repeat that Obama administration.

As it stands at the moment, I will vote for and work for the reelection of Trump. The only other person that comes to mind would be Jamie Dimon from JP Morgan. I would expect him to be a conservative democrat if he ever decided to be a fool and enter politics. Most high quality people have more sense than to have their lives ruined by entering politics!

I really need to know who is in the running, no use speculating if they wont be in the race.

And I will support who has the best experience and education in civil service and politics, and feasible ideas that go along with it. Civil service is important for me to believe they have a genuine interest in other fellow americans BEFORE they had the opportunity to be 'king or queen' of the USA.

Education is important so I can believe they have demonstrated an understanding of the job in terms of the constitutional checks and balances of governments, and the boundaries and powers of the office.

Frankly, I'm done with all the politicians.

Nominate someone that spent time in their life homeless.
Someone (man or woman) that was fired from their job for reasons beyond their control.
Someone that knows how to cook, clean and sew socks.

I'm tired of these politicicians that have had everything in life handed to them because they have access to more money than they can burn.

I want someone in there that knows what its like to hitch a ride to work because they can't afford to miss a day of work or their family will suffer.
Someone that understands what being a "normal' American is all about.

They don't have stock options, own charitable foundations or have a list of accomplishments as long as my toilet paper roll.
I want the one that screws up from time to time but seems to manage to find a way to fix it.
Someone fallible, just like me.
Someone that know how important the job is that we are asking them to do.
Someone that cares about me, you and everyone else in this country.

That's who I support.
Now, can anyone name some names?

Over the course of a lifetime people grow and 'evolve'. I am sure that there have and will be candidates who have gone through many stages of life, including being 'normal' and having to struggle. I dont expect people to have remained struggling throughout life to be running or to know much about how to accomplish much besides surviving, which is a good skill to know, IF it accompanies the skill of progressing.

I'll be honest, someone who I always wanted to see run was Elizabeth Dole. I admired what she did as Sec of Commerce under Reagan, and always thought that they had the wrong Dole running in 1996, because "Elizabeth, don't call me Liddy" would have had a better shot at challenging Clinton.

Unfortunately, Mrs Dole's reputation took a bad hack after 9/11/2001, when folks found out the Red Cross under her direction had been doing some bait-and-switch with donations. It pretty much ended her political career. Having seen her speak in 2000, she had the charisma and knowledge to have earned my vote.

As far as 2020, I don't think my candidate has announced yet. I certainly don't want another demagogue egotist liar, and though Pence will be the incumbent by then, I wonder if Pence can pull off an election. GLAD Hillary is not trying it again, could not stand the noise. I am laughing at Bill Weld trying for the 3rd party nomination.

Remember too, that this early in the game, the early frontrunners usually don't make it (Anybody remember when Howard Dean was on the cover of Time?) Elizabeth Warren might do well in NH next spring (just because she is from a neighboring state), but I think her campaign will be over by Super Tuesday.

Would not mind seeing Claire Underwood in the race... An Underwood ticket is one I could get behind. Tom Kirkman? Why do I get the feeling that we will need an event such as the one that made Tom Kirkman famous to truly purge the filth in DC?

It doesn't make a difference the candidate, the Orange one is never going to yield the spotlight, and will proclaim himself Emperor,like his best friend Kim did. Michael Cohan has told us, the Cheeto will not go quietly... and the worst part is, he will still have the brainless goons supporting his right to urinate on the Constitution yet again when it happens

I heard or read, and I honestly don't remember the source so question the validity, that the RNC is setting a new standard that no one run against Trump in his re election bid. Again, I am not sure where I read it. I remember it didn't shock me, but did concern me.

Perhaps Bill Gates will throw his hat in the ring. He has done PLENTY of charity and given to fellow Americans. Started from relatively 'normal' beginnings, worked hard to a net worth in the tens of billions. He is at the spry age of only 63 AND has only had one bankruptcy that I have read on.

I wouldn't vote for him due to the education/experience requirements I look for, but given new standards, he may have a shot.

I am still waiting for the official announcements for candidates though.

I like that Booker ticks the boxes for education and experience and age range. But I still have to wait to see who the actual lead candidates will be and what they have to say when thinking and speaking for themselves.

Short answers are usually a good sign of a closed mind. Ever try to have a conversation with someone who simply answers using 1-word responses? Pretty boring.

I guess there always is that rare possibility a decent independent or democrat candidate might come along to consider. One should keep an open mind to that very slim possibility although I can't possibly see where a quality candidate could get the democratic nomination.
