- Not that it matters, but I don't trust Hillary much; meanwhile, the things I've read from Trump are very scary. - Marlowe May 5, 08:23

Re: Both candidates being disliked. I wonder if, in this era of overexposure and social media that is just how things are going to be from now on. - volnelk May 5, 07:38 18
- Maybe but in this case I think the voters just see them both as the corrupt, soulless candidates they are. -- nm - ML May 5, 08:00 2
  - mmmm...SMOD -- nm - iSpam May 5, 08:08 1
    - SMOD '16 is the only logical choice -- nm - ML May 5, 08:08
- Hillary has the highest approval rating of anyone when in office. Just not when campaigning. - MDH May 5, 07:58 3
  - My dislike of Hillary has nothing at all to do with her gender or being ambitious. -- nm - Strongbad May 5, 08:02 2
    - is it because she murdered Vince Foster? -- nm - mr. sassafrass jeans May 5, 08:06 1
      - I thought it was Vince Van Patten? - Strongbad May 5, 08:17
- I think one factor is that both candidates are extremely well known by the general electorate far earlier in the cycle than normal. - ty97 May 5, 07:56 3
  - I agree with this. -- nm - Strongbad May 5, 08:03
  - I agree with this and that's kind of what I am saying. They are clearly exceptions, but moving forward, every candidate is going to be "Well known". -- nm - volnelk May 5, 08:01
  - I suspect some of it is also that the actual likable candidates are less likely to decide to run the gauntlet in the first place. -- nm - Ender May 5, 08:00
- Not all dislikes are created equal. -- nm - znufrii May 5, 07:47

- I hope we're just in a two steps forward, one step back phase. (Or maybe three steps back.) - JaxSean May 5, 07:40
- I think it's going to be harder as negative works...but these 2 are their own special brands of dislike. - Will Hunting May 5, 07:40
So, TheLadders.com is down all day...that would have been nice to have noted at some point in the last day or so. - Will Hunting May 5, 07:37
