I think Donald Trump has energized the race, which I think is a good thing.

The real challenge for the right is to not only authentically win, but to overcome the massive voter fraud that unfortunately exists. 

In watching your election process, I am encouraged thinking that more people will get out and vote because it is no longer the same old same old.  When people feel their vote won't make a difference, they stay home.  I think this time, a difference can be made and people are getting enthused by that.  It becomes contagious!

Well...  things certainly were interesting.

Good morning Bob Crane,

Hopeful, yes, if we lose hope, we have nothing

I think the current election process is generating a good discussion, with a number of voices that need to be heard, including Trump'd and Bernie Sanders' and some candidates getting flushed out, like Hillary due to past failings and trust issues. We have yet to see one solid leader emerge.

I am very hopeful, but I have been in the past too, and it doesn't always pan out.

I believe the voter turn around will highest in the history, Bob Crane .

And good, bad, ugly or however it is....this is where I want to be!

No. I do not feel hopeful with the current political prospects.

Bob,

I have no opinion at this moment.  We need someone with vision to lead, and not someone whose goal is to be elected by promising instant gratification.  A

I am hopeful, and hopeful that people will see through some of the deception.  I have to agree with Jill Murty though regarding the voter fraud.

I am hopeful though that more people will have finally awakened to some of the truth that is going on, and they will get out there and vote.  I know that's a different issue than the voter fraud, but some don't vote.

No, I don't.

Why?

The political race is reflective of our society.

Look at what we have become.

"My people perish for lack of vision." Who said that?

Hopeful yes; but with the rest of the incumbents in congress it could still be a nightmare.

My priorities for work, financial, spiritual, family and personal goals are clear, no matter who's in office. I've been earning a living since 1982, so I've weathered all kinds of political climates and their affects on our economy. I adjust the set of the sail and prepare for the occasional storm, but my income comes from real estate, not politics. I vote and then I get back to work.

Good morning Bob. Yes, I am hopeful. There are some very good people running this time around, many of which I could vote for.

Looking forward to more debates.

Make it a great weekend!

 Good Saturday morning Bob. It's still too early to tell. I just hope that our current President doesn't sell us down the river.

Bob - The problem is that no matter who wins, there are so many things that bog down the decision making, nothing ever gets done.

no I don't.  There are a couple in the race I think would do a good job, but I don't think they can/will win

hopeful? yes... but hope springs eternal... realistic? i think this year is different.. so ..yes
