Carlos Beruff’s main claim to fame before becoming a Senate candidate was selling tainted Chinese drywall to unsuspecting homeowners and then fighting them in court over damages.

As a Republican the quality of some of our candidates is shockingly bad.

As I watch this election “process” go on one thing has become clear to me, and it’s pretty disgusting. Our officials want a POLITICIAN in office, and it seems they want it that way so badly they (Republicans) are willing to sabotage Trump and essentially put Clinton in office because under the skin of being Republican or Democrat she’s “one of us”- a POLITICIAN. It seems to me that our people in government want what’s good for them, not us and not our country. Trump, while not my favorite person in the world, is the strongest candidate the Republicans have had running in a long time and the Party is undermining him every chance they get. It’s shocking to see the tactics they are employing to achieve what THEY want, not us. Yet most of them don’t want to be seen or own up to doing it. Perhaps it’s time for a mass purging in Washington. Remember what we’ve seen folks, and vote the ones that don’t do as we say (that’s their job, isn’t it?) out of office. The corruption runs deep on both sides and needs to be cut out like a cancer.

In my opinion, my description of Donald Trump is an arrogant bully mean jerk. I can’t forget the way he treated Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz during the debates. You don’t attack and blame a man for the actions of his brother. Would any of you want to be blamed for something your brother or sister did?

As far as business leadership, you don’t have to be a jerk in order to be a good CEO. Mitt Romney proved that in business and government. If you want a former CEO as President, I would rather have Romney instead of Trump. Both had business successes and failures, but Romney’s character handles it better.

There is no way I would ever vote for Hillary, but she will win. Why? For several reasons: because of the “First Woman President” thing, because of the millions of Americans who want free handouts taken from the “rich”, because Trump has angered the Hispanics (now a larger minority than African-Americans), and because of Trump’s behavior that people see as not presidential.

So you Trump fans are fooling yourselves if you really think Trump can beat Hillary. I choose to be pessimistic and realistic instead of optimistic and disappointed then depressed.

Seems most agree to vote against one or the other, not necessarily for one.

Think I’ll vote against what’s been building for years.
No more Clintons.

The 2012 Presidential election was essentially lost by Romney not winning Florida,Ohio,Penn,Va……Romney was almost the perfect candidate….handsome,well educated,rich,well connected, perfect hair & teeth & rhetoric….deeply religious and a great family man. “The perfect Candidate”. To me however, he grinned too much ( I called him Mr. Smiley ). For you Republicans to the bone I’d like you to understand there are millions MORE registered Democrats than registered Republicans. So how exactly do you plan to beat the Liberals/ democrats ? Trump seemed brash,arrogant, a braggart and was very painful to watch in the debates. I’m thinking this next election is more about our survival ( as a Republic ) . I switched to voting as an Independent probably 15/20 years ago. I never thought I could/ would back a New York Yankee ( I’m a Southerner ) but it’s our children and grand children’s future at stake. Trump ain’t my favorite human….but of the 7 billion on earth there’s only a handful that are. When our founders gave us our ” rules to live by ” they told us they’d given us a REPUBLIC if we could keep it. It’s time to “put up or shut up”

I know I am in the minority in NW FL but Trump as president? He’ll probably pick Hulk Hogan as his running mate, Secretary of Defense Joe Arpaio, Secretary of State David Duke and so on. I just don’t think America is going to let that happen.

Here’s how I think of it….with Clinton – we are DEFINATELY heading into the abyss …with Trump- we “might” be going into the abyss….I’m planning to hold my nose, pray and go with the best odds. Anonymous recently put out a VERY revealing documentary on Mrs. Clinton and her modus operandi from way back in her Arkansas political life- up to now…..It makes Trump’s ambiguous history look like child’s play. I’m anxiously awaiting the announcement of Trump’s running mate. (I’m thinking Newt)

Does anyone study history. I do not know who to trust, but I KNOW not to trust a Socialist or a Communist. All through history we see this system fail over and over and over again. The “leaders” get rich while their “subjects” get poorer and are punished and/or killed for dissenting. All the “freebies” for the “masses,” will become their CHAINS! Too many ignorant, brainwashed, drug addicted people allowed to vote. There is so much corruption in our government. If I had been out of this country for fifty years and just returned, I would not even recognize it as the country in which I was born and raised. MANY people who do not have a clue are going to vote. A vote for ANYONE other than Donald Trump, will now be a vote for Communist minded Hillary. So many uninformed people are going to vote for who they believe will give them what they want. If they win, they will soon be “slaves of the state.” So sad.
