MahoganySnitch 67 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 When hasn't it?its a mud slinging smackfest every time there's any kind of voting.True, it's always been messy but extremely so with social media around. Clinton in particular will face the "Woman" question, Benghazi, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANiCURE1295 8,673 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Honestly, I doubt it. The republican party has like 60 candidates trying to run. The split vote won't be in their favor.That's when their democratic/republican whip needs to get his ass in place...but yeah I agree. I think the democrats will keep control Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melech 9,900 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I ought to tell all you to be careful about choosing a woman for running as president... There's a high chance the congress will tease her unless she's a very good leader with a strong (really strong) image. Most of problems Brazil are passing by now is EXCLUSIVELY our president's fault, and yes I said exclusively because, in fact, they are. That's pointless, so why I said a strong image? Because you wanting or not the fact that she's a woman can cause a lot of issues thought the congress and only because of that, if in a minimal sign they see her is being weak or indecisive. For the good side I see peace coming, as strong than ever and you will all feel that if a woman runs a nation, anyway I have a good feeling about this...*In fact they're different countries but by knowing both a little, I know I can compare a bit...C'mon. Look at Germany's Angela Merkel. She solved more problems than any other chancellor (we have a chancellor not a president) before her. She is basically ruling over the European Union.

Luc 4,776 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 C'mon. Look at Germany's Angela Merkel. She solved more problems than any other chancellor (we have a chancellor not a president) before her. She is basically ruling over the European Union. She is a good leader, but what has she done that's so much better than previous Chancellors? FYI, the German economy is doong so well thanks to long-term effects from Schröder's reforms. Anyways, Jeb Bush has a Mexican wife and speaks Spanish... that couls give them many votes. And I don't think I like Clinton's foreign policy... I don't think it will make much of a difference (for me) who wins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 52,853 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 What Republican would you support? Or which ones did you like in the past? I did not follow US politics before a certain date so as far as individuals i dont know I just know i really dislike the economic policies of Democrats in general. Of course the downside to Republicans is their conservative view points on social issues, at least here in Canada our right-winged Governments arent conservative socially But i feel like the economy matters more in general especially since Democrats havent done much for LGBT rights and stuff anyway since they leave it up to States to decide. If the Federal Government took a bigger role it might actually make more of a difference Here in Canada same-s-x marriage and certain other rights were stagnant in some Provinces because not all Provinces allowed certain things. So the Federal Government stepped in Lower levels of Government dont like it when they have powers stripped away but a Country to function as a whole NEEDS a National standard on certain things Like Here in Canada the Government of Canada approved several pipelines that cant be built because the Province of British Columbia refuses to give the Provincial Construction Permits. When willl lower levels of Government interfear with National interests? same applies for human rights Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 yeah and what about it? When someone says they will or won't support a candidate, it usually means by going to the polls and voting. Unless you are planning to send donations into candidates or something ...

socotra 3,357 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 yeah and what about it?I was going to ask why you decide who you'll be voting for purely based on partisan lines (which I think is stupid), but then it occurred to me that you won't be voting at all. I don't mean that in a rude way; I just don't understand people who vote for a candidate just because they're a Democrat or a Republican, or immediately write off a candidate because they're of a certain party.

The Prime Minister is whoever the leader of the party is. So if u want someone as the leader, u have to elect their party Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 40 per cent of the voting population identify as independents, versus Democrats at 31 per cent and Republican at 29 per cent.Then there are those voters who identify as Rebublicans or Democrats, but vote for the other canidate due to a variety of reasons.

The United States is a federal republic; we elect one person from a variety of candidates. In the primaries, each party chooses its candidate through a nationwide vote. The Republican/Democrat then face off in the national election (until we end that two-party system). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody Draco 2,531 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Last election when I was in school, the majority of people my age that were into politics and wore shirts and sh*t promoting their stance were republicans. I saw a lot of republican signs as well. I'm praying for the good sis Hillary though. I've always liked her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
