Talk Elections

Does this election make you angry?

No, just very very excited.

I'm very frustrated by the weakness of both benches. No real variety. This is going to be a lesser of two evils election sadly.

The benches are arguably weak, but I don't think you can say there's no variety in the ideology of the candidates.

Well it certainly doesn't make me feel all bubbly inside....

I think there isn't much variety on the Dem side. The GOP, sure. But Clinton and Sanders are ignoring a good chunk of the party ideology.

No.

Responding to anger with anger is a major mistake, as even most children know.

Yes. My posts here should make that clear, much as I try not to let myself get angry.

All the candidates are bad. Even though I like the cut of Bernie's jib, he's not a great candidate, just one that at least acknowledges some of the problems with our nation, without being a pestilent orange cancer on the face of humanity. I don't know which is worse, Trump or the people voting for him.

Clinton will win, but if she wins narrowly, only regret Biden would have been a better candidate

Clinton makes me ANGRY.
Sanders makes me hopeful.
Trump makes me excited!
Cruz makes me sick with disgust.
Kasich makes me wary.
Carson made me want to take a nap.

The deplorable trash supporting Trump make me very angry that his ideas are becoming mainstream. They cannot be described as anything but sociopaths. I want to believe that his online supporters aren't representative of the majority of his voters, but I just don't know.

It does not. I'm kind of glad the angries are making some traction, even though I'm not one of them.

Angry and sad. Most of it involves the landfill that is Trump and his supporters/enablers.

When I say supporters, not talking about here but in other places...especially twitter.

I'm not a Republican or a Bernie supporter.  Why would I be angry?

I feel the same way my mom did every time I did something wrong as a child. "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed".

Bit disappointed with the format for Bernie Sanders regarding superdelegates.

He has some great numbers.

Kind of angry that someone like Trump could get this far.

More to do with the candidates on the Republican side. I'm satisfied with either Clinton or Sanders.

I would like to see Sanders win, so I could say "not yet" if he doesn't win.
I would be relieved to see Clinton beat whomever the Republican nominee is
assuming it is a conservative like Trump, Cruz etc.
The only Republican I would be happy with is Chafee, and since he is no longer
 a Republican, I feel fairly confident in saying that they aren't going to nominate
him (or anyone who is not basically conservative).

No, it makes me laughing.

Extremely. The fact that Comrade Sanders and trump are still running concerns me.

Yep can't stand Trump and Hillary.

Certainly not.

The successes of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz sicken me.

Yes, actually, mad as hell. Cruz/Kasich are the only candidates running who I don't have an instant revulsion to, and both of them are very, very far from perfect.

I'm angry that the Democrats went in the tank for Hillary Clinton in a blatant way.  To have to choose between her and a 76 year old man who isn't even a Democrat is a state that I never would have thought that the party in charge would be in.

I'm convinced, albeit in hindsight, that if Joe Biden had run, he'd be the Democratic frontrunner by now, albeit on the way to a brokered convention.

Embarassed.

No, this election makes me extremely happy! I never even dreamed a year ago that we'd be getting a complete and total GOP implosion, complete with childish insults, hilarious kindergarten-esque "debates", a reality TV star who was supposed to be a joke sweeping the primaries, and talks of resurrecting the brokered convention and doing away with pesky democracy again! On top of that, the Republican clusterf**k has been so total and complete, they've managed to once again make Hillary the frontrunner to win the presidency despite the media completely being in the tank against her and dredging up every faux scandal they can to try to drive down her ratings. If only they were smart enough to nominate the media's Hispanic pet and designated Hillary destroyer Little Marco...thankfully they weren't. :) On top of that, the candidate I've supported since 2007 is on a glide path to the nomination. Sure, she didn't do quite as well as I thought/hoped a long while ago, but you can't win them all and a win is a win.

Why should I be angry? The current campaign demonstrates to the whole world how undemocratic and hypocritic the USA is, how helpless and silly the candidates are. The state that is considered great power produced a trash line of candidates each of whom will weaken the USA. This is good news for the rest of the world.

Yeah, if only we had a quasi dictator like you guys, things would be so much better!

I could not agree with you more.

It's made me very disillusioned with Presidential politics, right in line with the self-proclaimed disillusioned voters have made themselves "heard" through Trump.

I am very concerned about how this plays out. I find the entire modern political left to be quite reckless and disgraceful, but the Trump campaign is an absolute abomination in my opinion which we must stop from winning the nomination. I just cannot support that campaign and it is clear that many others feel the same way. It goes beyond this election as far as Donald Trump is concerned. He is going to inflict significant damage on the entire party moving forward.

Yes; I am angry that the two major political parties are nominating the least likable candidates.

This election has elicited a variety of emotions in me, including but not limited to anger.
