Kasich was my favorite candidate before the debates, and he did really good the first debate. Every debate since then he's said exactly the same thing, he also doesn't know how to interrupt people or take interruptions, which hurts his debate performances. It annoys me that originally he said he'd reduce the military budget and also that he wouldn't insult others running for the nomination. He put out his 8 year plan that shows the military budget rising, and also has started insulting others running for the nomination. I agree that Donald trump is an asshole that should NEVER be president, but he's insulted others as well, and regardless of whether or not it's true, you shouldn't go back on your word. Yes all candidates are huge liars but that doesn't make lying okay.
Of all the presidential candidates I would prefer Rand Paul to win. He wants to greatly reduce spending, including military spending, which is great as we are HUGELY overspending. The only major issue I have with him is that he wants to put out a 15% flat tax, I'm not against a flat tax, but I think if we have a flat tax it needs to be more, I think an adjustable flat tax from 20-40% with some deductions is more realistic, accompanied with a budget amendment that doesn't let us overspend.
My complaints with the parties as a whole as well as some of the candidates,
Democrats - Want to increase spending, increase government regulations(decrease freedoms), Obamacare sucks, want more gun control(which I suppose goes with increase government regulations), generally think wind power is a better option than nuclear, and want to raise the minimum wage too much (which will likely increase unemployment rate)
Republicans - Generally don't care about the environment or don't believe that there is a chance that we are ruining our planet, want to reduce the freedom of gay people and not let them get married, want to reduce the freedoms of womens right to choose whether or not she wants an abortion and also want to stop funding planned parenthood which helps many people(and not for the correct reason to reduce spending, but instead because they want to reduce abortions) and want to increase military spending
Sanders - Socialist that wants to greatly increase spending and decrease our freedoms(socialist countries have less freedom than capitalist countries)
Clinton - It seems everything she does is for political expediency, I'm guessing there isn't anything she wouldn't do if it would help her become president, regardless of whether or not it's good for the country or against her morals(if she has any).
Rubio - He can't even handle his own finances, he shouldn't be president. He got millions from his book, blew it all, and had to start withdrawing from his 401k as well as pay the early withdrawal fee.
Cruz - WAY to far to the right for my tastes
Carson - Unqualified, not only because he has little to no political experience, but also because he doesn't know enough about things presidents should know about, in an interview he said he'll start learning more and if he becomes president he'll learn everything before he's inaugurated. However that's not good enough for me.
Trump - Unqualified asshole
Fiorina - Unqualified, what she uses as her only reason that she can run the country is her business savvy, however she was a shitty CEO who hurt the company more than she helped it.
