I can mention the truth, or truthiness.
It would appear that the people voting in the Republican primaries do
not like the truth. The candidates rankings are inversely proportional
to the candidate's ability to actually tell the truth (IOW, Kasich is
the most "truthful", and Trump is the least):

The REPUBLIC of the United States has, since inception, been a mix of
many different types government policies. Hell a lot of the things FDR
did were VERY socialist, and they worked very well in the United
States.
You pick between things that can work on an individual basis. Throwing
the baby out with the bathwater is foolish. Making the future of the
country a Democratic vs Republican issue is also foolish. The FBI
needs to finish their investigation of Clinton quickly and do the
right thing (whatever that may be). Her as well as the American people
deserve this thing to be over one way or the other. Trump is a clown,
Cruz is a sociopath, Rubio is a weakling, Carson is a brilliant brain
surgeon who has written many groundbreaking papers in his field but is
kind of an idiot outside of his niche. Sanders may want to go too far,

For those of us riding the middle ground here, this is all a "shit

Josh, the problem with Bernie is we do trust him. We trust him to bring
back socialism. Based on what happens to every socialist country,
especially Venezuela, Russia, Greece, Spain, etc... I'm not inclined to
vote for a guy that is going to make me stand in line for toilet paper.

"McCain said the Vermont senator, who is competing with Clinton for the
Democratic presidential nomination next year, worked hard for veterans in
his role as chairman of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee.
“The fact is we were able to come together and pass legislation that was
nearly unanimous in both the House and the Senate, so he does have a record
of advocacy for our veterans,” he said in response to a question about the
candidates' positions on veterans' issues during a press call on Wednesday.
“To my knowledge, I know of no activity, legislative or otherwise, that
Hillary Clinton was engaged in during her time as a United States senator,”
he added."

Yes internet warrior, even the much famed former POW John McCain very
much likes working with Sanders.
Signed,
A US Combat Veteran who has *very fucking much* paid attention to
Sander's records because it directly impacts me.

It may be sad, but out of all of the contenders he's the only one I
would trust. His voting record is solid, he chained himself to black
protesters in the 60's (and was arrested in the process), has done
well for veteran's, etc. No scandals. He's as much a Democrat though
as Trump is a Republican - both are very independant. Maybe one day
we can actually have a 3rd or 4th party on the tickets - but I doubt
it.

Trump/Carson would be a neat matchup
I'm really looking forward to Sanders coming on Fox. Of all the
candidates he's the only one who actually legitimately cares about
the people, even if he is a short bus shy of a full helmet.

The best candidates have already dropped out. Probably because
they weren't flamboyant enough to get attention.

It really is a sad state of affairs. I don't think Trump is
really bigoted, or maybe as bigoted, as he is made out. That is
about the best thing I can't think to say about him.
Cruz is just another lying politician that will day or do
anything to get elected and was the first to tap into the whole
"angry court" syndrome a few years ago.
Rubio will void for wherever poles say.
Kasich is to obviously to reasonable for many people to vote for
him.
On the dem side you have a socialist and an entitled elitist that
has always flirted with the illegality of her desires. She just
thinks she deserves to be President.
The whole thing is sad. America has so many principled,
intelligent people who are either on the left, right, or
independent. It is hard to believe this is the best willing to
come forward to serve.
All people deserve the government they allow to rule over them. I
am afraid that doesn't say a lot for us.
