1. At this time, no
I don't really care who gets the nomination. I'll likely get more invested in the general.

4. Given the state of the economy
and the likely economic meltdown we face, and the fact that none of the candidates is really addressing this monumental problem, and the fact that it's probably too late to save the economy anyway, I'm not very excited about any candidate right now.

7. How could a candidate address the issue?
My fellow Americans, the party is over. It´s time to turn out the lights and start cleaning up the place. You can pick up trashbags at the Post Office. Thanks for your support.

5. Yes, but not too much. If Hillary doesn't win the nomination and the White House
I am completely and utterly done with politics.

6. I was before it got down to the three duds (the white guy, the woman, and the black guy) we got now
There were some people in the race and some others who might have got in the race that really fired me up, but not any one of the three that have survived. So as it is now I'll take whatever Democrat is being served up, but I won't be thrilled about it. I'll note that its significant because it will either be the first woman or the first black person to be elected, but that's about it.

8. Didn´t someone famous once say something like
the election process is a period of time in which the good candidates get whittled away?

Anything and everything is better than *, except for McSame.
