    In the contest where people vote their fears and candidates pander to them, HRC is beating Trump handily.

    Because the biggest fear by far is the utter incompetence, lying, and wild mood swings of one of the candidates. That's the top of the list.

    And to the idiots who claim the press is smearing one of the candidates... try suicide.

    My biggest fear in the election is Trump winning and giving power to the far right house to write horrible laws knowing they'll get signed. The Kochs' takeover of the country would be complete with all of congress, the president, and another Scalia on the supreme court.

    One candidate has made himself THE top fear. He wanted attention by being different. He got it. You make yourself the center of everything, you are asking to be vetted thoroughly. Then go ahead and commit suicide by saying and acting like an erratic megalomaniac. Acting would be too kind actually.

    Corruption of govt officials, but red/slave states keep re-electing the same astroturf/BigCorp/darkmoney ideological extremists.

    The only Repugs at risk this election are moderates. Replaced by more ideological rightwing assholes or by Dems?

    The next Congress will be as gridlocked as ever, nothing will get done, no problems solved, no progress.

    The economy will remain as rigged as ever, which is the whole point of ideological strict obstructionism.

    Racist, misogynist Repugs hate/obstruct a women Pres as much has they hate a black Pres.

    #1 would likely be an indictment to the GOP, actually. After all, they control 2 branches of the federal government and 31 governorship (vs 18 for democrats + 1 independent).

    Yeah that's a rational position to hold, just kill yourself if you don't agree.

    I can't decide which candidate you're referring to in your first line however. One has a proven track record of incompetence and the other is a buffoon, a clown.. basically a joke that went on too long. The evidence is that the entire system needs to be overhauled, it's rigged from top to bottom. I'd say congress needs to clean house but it's all a big ing reality TV show with a huge price tag.

    My guess is that a Trump presidency would re-calibrate that list.

    The suicide was referring to what Trump did to himself.

    So you are telling me because Clinton has screwed up on some things that Trump is the obvious choice on competence. He literally has no Fkn clue what he is talking about, especially in foreign affairs. And it's perfectly silly to be duped by things are so bad we need change, make America great again. When do you think America was great? And when did this fall of the empire occur? And what plan does Trump have to change anything so it will obviously become better. So let's take One thing both candidates agree on, the need to upgrade infrastructure. One has a plan and another does not. Go figure.

    There are clearly problems that are exacerbated by the money big players use to buy influence. The difference is the party's disagree on how to fix it. And it's not entirely clear either really want to. And this country is not Venezuela or Russia. People who think it's bad here have no clue what bad is.

    And this list proves how stupid people are. Anybody depending on the government for their financial future deserves to be broke. The chances of dying from a terrorist attack are astronomically low. And guns... it boggles my mind why this actually sways votes (besides the fact that the NRA spends a lot of money to make sure it does). The second amendment is there, the gubment isn't going to steal our guns.

    It doesn't say that the government is going to steal our guns - it say government restrictions on firearms and ammunition - which could be likely depending on who is on the Supreme Court (possibly 4 new Justices).

    For me, people I love dying is a recent experience and just leaves a huge hole in my life :-(

    Reck, this survey is mixed - it's not just Republicans. What surprises me is that such a high percentage (over 60) name corruption of government officials.

    I would like to thank Reck for his words of sympathy on the passing of my aunt and also, Bonnerific, for deleting his post.

    Th'Pusher, here's something my kids learned when they were very young: you don't hit someone when they're down - you pick them up.

    Trump, if he hasn't paid taxes in nearly two decades, has not done so illegally. I must have missed where Trump is a government official.

    It makes a lot of sense. Isn't Congress approval rating like at an all time low and has been for a while? Half the population think they're useless do-nothing idiots too dangerous to actually do something, the other half thinks they're establishment/RINO. Even those pretending not to be married to the party, like Cruz, burned that bridge in this election.

    Half the population thinks that it's not just Congress - that it's pervasive - IRS, DOJ, and now FBI too.

    Roasted brussell sprouts - deelicious (and so easy).

    You have any numbers to back that up? AFAIK, at least the DOJ is part of the Executive, and Barry is walking away with an approval rating hovering a bit over 50%...
