GOP Presidential Field Depressingly Terrible. All Of Them Are Criminally Insane.

It is so depressing to see how horrible the GOP field is. They are so insane and mean any chance that any one of them could win is scary. What is scary is how many American voters are just as insane. We would be at war with everyone with the GOP in complete control.

I cannot believe that we in the bilges and cesspools of society with the slate of GOP candidates. And when you look at GOP politicians across the country all you see is sludge. GOP policies on health care alone are costing so many Americans misery and death. These Medicaid denials have real consequences. And thanks to a corrupt and really evil media the carnage stays hidden.

The 2016 election could very well be the most important in US history. Stopping the GOP from making gains would be helpful, but that will not be enough. We must reverse the gains they have made. And with the Supreme Court in the balance a GOP controlled government could screw things up for the rest of this century.

1. What is most depressing is that many currently hold office

Who votes for a Ted Cruz or a Rand Paul? These people are mean, stupid, ineffective in office, and floating dreadful policies that won't work, haven't worked, will never work. Try to respect the people that voted them in... you can't.

They want this 2016 election to be in full force and that is depressing. I wish the election started in June 2016.

But now that you mention it. Getting better candidates from top down would really help us.

The contortions forced on them by Big Money just make them sound insane.

5. Why would it be depressing? It's even more "Clown Car" than 2012!

It's opportunity to re-emphasize to anyone on the fence about supporting OUR candidate, whoever it may be, the true stakes of sitting this out really are.

And meanwhile every whackadoodle statement and stance but them puts them more at odds with the modern 2016 American electorate...
