None of the above

Folks, after reading about the Trump's most recent idiocy, I need to vent. I'm German, but I've been following American politics for over 30 years now. All that time, I've leaned Republican, and found something to admire or even like in most GOP candidates for high office. Lukewarm about Dubya Bush, and on the fence about McCain, I was truly enthusiastic about Mitt Romney last time around, but already in 2012 the road to the nomination was peopled by borderline fools and hucksters. This time, it's infinitely worse than that. There is a serious candidate or two among the characters running for the Republican nomination, but it saddens and sickens me that a buffoon and semi-fascist like Trump or someone like the clueless Ben Carson can be solidly at the top of the field. I have no love for Hillary Clinton or any of the Democrats in the running, but if Trump should (God forbid) turn out to be the nominee, I think it would be best for the U.S. if Clinton were elected.

The Republican Party is bad for America, Full Stop! Except for a brief period during the run up to the Civil War, the Republican Party has done nothing for the average American citizen except try and hold us back. People often site the GOP Platform as already to support the Party, but the Partyvhas never lived those platform principles and history will bear that out!

The democratic party and republican party are both detrimental to society as a whole in the US. I personally don't believe that either support what their individual party lines are, and as long as lobbyists exist and are allowed to function, then in my opinion, there will never be any kind of properly functioning political party. All there will be is rhetoric. Now that I live in Greece, it's the same shit, just the whining is at a more intense level. You know what? I've determined all politicians in every country are like this. I do not see any purpose in participating in politics, except at a very local level.
