Being unable to read sarcasm is a limitation commonly attributed to Americans. Yet you showed it here. I expected more from you.
On a serious note, I don't have a vote, but I am yet to decide who I'll be rooting for in the end. I've always supported liberals in US, however I feel like Bernie is pushing his socialist ideas too far and in a country/system where in the end it comes down to 2 candidates for the whole country, the more central option will always prevail. Plus, I found his response to the Putin question quite insulting. Saying that he believes Putin regrets entering Crimea is very discouraging for someone like me (I'm from Lithuania, very close to Ukraine), it's not what I want to hear from the US president. So he lost my vote.
Hilary, on the other hand, I don't find pleasant at all, but I do like how radical she's been towards Russia. She's not the perfect candidate, but she seems quite central, plus she's a woman; and these two things make her very electable in my opinion.
I haven't followed the GOP debates yet, because there are just way too many candidates at the moment, I'll wait till it narrows down. I am open to liking one of them, because despite being liberal in social issues, I am quite conservative in fiscal issues. However, the fact that the currently most popular candidate is a joke (Trump) and the second most popular seems almost retarded (Jeb) certainly doesn't help.
