Yes, definitly. I'm not crazy about most of the candidates, but Ben Carson seems pretty cool to me. What do y'all think of him?

He's okay, but out of all of the Democrats I prefer Jim Webb even if he does think a little too much of himself.

I don't really follow political stuff, because I'm a fifth grader, but I don't want to have any of the female candidates win, because as soon as I'm 35, I'm gonna start running for youngest and first female president!

Wow, all you guys seem very learned on this subject. I really don't know much about politics, just that some of the Sunday comics make jokes about how weird Trump is. At school, I saw an old video about young entrepreneurs, and there was this one teenager who talked all about wanting to be just like Trump when he grew up. (This was when Trump was young.). I thought, "Wow, I didn't know anyone actually liked Trump."

I am terribly sorry if I have offended anyone.

And go Hermione G.!!!

Donald Trump, why should any immigration be illegal? Is it that he he does not see the hardship these people are going through?

Pft. Hardship. Right. See, the problem is that they are making things worse for people here legally. They are coming, signing up for healthcare, taking all the benefits, and not paying for them! This causes inflation, which causes people to not be able to afford things, which leads to companies' budgets being cut, which leads to people let go. So as I'm sure you can understand, illegal immigrants are a problem in America. I'm sorrry, but it's just the truth.

This is actually untrue. I assume you're talking about Obamacare, which, according to healthcare.gov, the official website for the Affordable Care Act, (admins if you are hesitant about posting the url then please remove it) is not available to illegal immigrants. They can't buy healthcare through the marketplace.

I could not stand it if Trump became president. Why should immigration be wrong?? And plus making Mexico pay for the wall (??) they didn't even ask for it in the first place. If i could vote (which I can't) I would vote for Bernie Sanders.

In my humble and not-fully-informed opinion:

Donald Trump is _____*, Hillary Clinton is okay (go girls) but shady, I know NOTHING about Carly Fiorina or Jim Webb or Ben Carson, and any extreme left- or right-wing candidate (*coughJebBushcough*) should be taken with a grain of salt. Personally, I am a proponent of bipartisanship, slightly more Democrat than Republican...but then again, this is how my parents feel as well, and I am under voting age anyway so I technically don't have a party.

I mean no offense to anyone, except possibly Trump. If anything I've said here seems disastrously uneducated, feel free to set me straight.

Koda says byyy. I guess she doesn't want to be around for the politics. (I don't blame her in the least.)

Oh. Sorry. The term was "idiot"; if that's not PC, forgive me. Should I use "possessing of questionable mental faculties" instead?

From what I've seen and heard about Donald Trump, he seems like an uninformed, ignorant rich guy who wants fame and power. Maybe he just wants people to like him.

I know that he's always been rich (he started off in New York City with a "small loan" of 1 million dollars from his father).

I know that he's said some incredibly sexist and racist things and that he wants to build a wall between the USA and Mexico (????) which I honestly just don't understand?????

His hair looks dumb, he looks dumb... he looks like... yellow. He is a very yellow man. It's a shame he didn't use sunscreen when he was younger.

When I was little I kept seeing pictures of him and hearing his name and I asked my mom why he was famous. She said he was really rich and owned a lot of stuff. I didn't get it.
