WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE PRESIDENT?
The general election is the first Tuesday of November and the nation will elect the new president. Your vote is a drop in the bucket and your choice is either the Democrat or Republican. However, the primary is when your vote matters. You can help chose the type of candidate who will represent your party. The easy way to choose is to start with the question, "Is the government the solution or the problem? Be honest with yourself and find the candidate that matches your answer. It is so easy to find out what these people stand for. You have a computer to find out how they have conducted themselves and what they believe throughout their life rather than just by what they say today. Here is a sliding scale of where they rank.
GOVERNMENT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEMS
Bernie Sanders (D)
Donald Trump (R)
Hillary Clinton (D)
John Kasich (R)
Marco Rubio (R)
Ben Carson (R)
Ted Cruz (R)
GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM
Hill Spirit is a constitutionalist. A constitutionalist believes that the powers given to the federal government are spelled out in the Constitution and anything else belongs to the states and their citizens. The powers in Washington DC shouldn't decide what the people of Alabama should do in most cases. Who will be selecting the next Supreme Court justice and perhaps up to 3 more is another big concern. For these reasons, Ted Cruz gets Hill Spirit's vote.
This is supposed to be a negative video against Cruz but it is actually the best video in Hill Spirit's opinion. It explains the differences between Cruz and Trump in bold colors.
Robert Reich is a political commentator on programs including Hardball with Chris Matthews, This Week with George Stephanopoulos, CNBC's Kudlow & Company, and APM's Marketplace. Not a Ted Cruz fan.
