But people are sick and tired of electing the chosen candidates and then watching them do none of the things they were elected to do.

If I were a Republican...I would leave that party immediately. Think about it: they are opposed to abortion, they also want a smaller govt. with less spending.
Bush was in office for all those years with a fully controlled Republican House and Senate.
So why isn't abortion illegal? Why did Bush spend MORE money and make govt. BIGGER?
Because he was NEVER going to do what the voters elected him to do.

If I were a Democrat...I would leave that party too. Obama has been President for almost 8 years now. Why aren't taxes a lot higher? Why isn't the govt. a LOT bigger? Yeah, I know he has a Republican legislature to deal with...but the first two years he had FULL control with a super majority in the House and Senate. And all we got was ObamaCare?
He never had any intention on doing what the voters elected him to do.

People want someone who isn't owned by special interests and will just do what they say they are going to do. Or at least try to do it. And if Congress won't work with them...guess what? They are gonna get voted out too.

We KNOW what Trump wants to do. We KNOW what Bernie wants to do.

Jeb? He would have said anything to get elected. And then obey all the people that donated those hundreds of millions of dollars to him.
Hillary? Same exact thing.

People are tired of it.
Obama said he would do Obamacare and he did. He made lots of measures to get us out of the recession, food stamps expanded, cash for clunkers, first time home buyers. He got us out of the wars. So far, he has been ok as far as what he said he would do. He did not cure all of our ills.

Bernie seems pretty straight up. Nuts but he seems to have a plan.

Trump has said he wants to rebuild the gutted military but wants to make it smaller. He wants troops on the ground and wipe out Isis but wants to stay out of the middle east. I tend to like his flexibility as that is what a good business person needs. If it is not working then go the other way and try that. It is less good for telling me what he is for before an election. He did lose me when he was a birther and re enforced that with the ban Muslim thing. He tends to speak first first and evaluate second.
