Sheesh.. I do not like either Bernie or Hillary politically

[Peacetrain]

.. I am sure they are both fine people..but politically..neither one of them does a thing for me.. I gotta learn to like them both..because one of them is the person I am going to vote for in Nov.. I sure as heck dislike each and every republican a 100 times more..

Going to watch the debate.. I first I thought pffffttt.. but, I have got to look closer at both of them..

I do not think I have ever had this problem before..

[guillaumeb]

1. Which begs the question,

who is your desired candidate?

Do not answer me because I am definitely not a candidate.

[Peacetrain]

3. One of them at this point..

My desired candidate dropped out..and I am from Iowa.. I have no more votes or say in the matter..

[guillaumeb]

5. O'Malley is a thoughtful candidate.

I like many of his positions. My feeling is that he would be an excellent Vice President.

[Peacetrain]

6. He is an excellent candidate.. but he is now out of the picture..

and I have to let go of that dream and learn to like the other two.. both of them.. because one of them is going to be the next President..

[Flying Phoenix]

2. That's the trouble with devoted O'Malley supporters.

For me, I was an Edwards supporter until that Rielle Hunter scandal, then Edwards dropped out. I still didn't like Clinton, and was warming up to the idea of Obama. Took me a while, but I voted for Obama at the end.

[Peacetrain]

4. The one who wins will definitely get my vote..

I am not one of these.. my way or the highway.. supporters who are in it just for one person.. and it that person does not make it.. they hit the road

Maybe its the negativity between the two campaigns that turns me off..

[Ken Burch]

7. I'm guessing there isn't anybody you really like politically.

O'Malley was never really in it.

If Warren had run, her past Republican affiliation would probably have been a deal-breaker for you, too.

[Peacetrain]

8. My candidate was.. but he is now out of the picture.. history

and I do not have any selection avenues open to me anymore.. so gotta embrace the two.. and I do mean two.. find the best about both of them.. that fits closest to my political stance..

[Gregorian]

9. I thought Martin and Bernie had a lot in common.

I would like to know what it is in Martin that you don't see in Bernie.

That's kind of tragic that Martin is out and you're from Iowa. Darn it. Hey, maybe you will find that Bernie works for you. We do have more voting to look forward to.

[Peacetrain]

10. Martin had a lot in common with both of them

and that is part of my dilemma.. you know I just realized for the first time, how hard it must have been for the Clinton campaign supporters last time..it is hard to change horses in mid gallop so speak.. and we are just at the start..

You know Gregorian..one of the other camps in going to be in the same spot I am at some point in time..

[Ken Burch]

11. Well, there isn't anything Bernie stands for that should be uncomfortable for you to support.

HRC is well to M'oM's right on many things, and her whole approach to politics is much more elitist and cynical than M'oM's.

Our campaign never takes an "oh grow up" attitude toward anyone's ideals.

[valerief]

12. Vote AGAINST the Republican. Your vote is important. Just imagine what

a Republican would do to SCOTUS. Your vote helps to keep SCOTUS from getting even dirtier once the justices start retiring/dying.

16. fixed........ :) nt

[Peacetrain]

18. Did you read my op?... I said I will be voting Democratic for who ever wins

Neither one is my cup of tea.. but that will not stop me from voting Democratic..I agree..we cannot let the republicans have every branch of goverment..

[restorefreedom]

15. well you can always skip the primary

and just vote in the general, if you dont feel drawn to either one. or you can keep reading, listening, and see if one of them grabs you.

sorry your candidate dropped out. i liked martin a lot and think he hasa great future ahead

[Peacetrain]

19. I live in Iowa.. my caucus is over

I am out of the picture.. I will vote for who ever the rest of the party selects.. they are just not my cup of tea..but I will definitely vote for the winner..

[restorefreedom]

23. oh didn't know that..well i guess no pressure at this point!

still sux about om though. hopefully the nom, whoever it is, will inspire you before november

[artislife]

17. Take your time. It is a loss.

There is nothing between now and November that you must do.

When you have invested so much there is a sense of a loss of a dream. Honor that and allow for you to exist in a space that doesn't have to choose.

[Peacetrain]

20. I am working for the down ballot candidates now

That is where my energy goes..

[Snotcicles]

21. If looking at down ticket at this time I think you should go with Big Mo. I think it's with Bernie.

[artislife]

22. That should be a part of all of our focus!

Down ticket is where we feel the big impact of who is in office or not.

[MoonRiver]

24. I'm just curious. What do you not like about them? What are you seeking in a candidate?

I am very sorry that O'M never got a chance. If something had happened to Hillary, I definitely would have switched to him.
