Trump is a idiot, Hillary I don't trust, Sanders is a socialist so I'd need more details on what he proposes, Cruz is Tea Party even if he isn't saying that much. The others don't know enough.
What is so wrong with socialism? I never understand the American aversion to a perfectly good way of living.
Oh, Americans like their socialist programs just fine so long as they don't have to own the word 'socialism' -- something conservatives rediscover every time they start blathering about doing away with Social Security or Medicare. Of course, our unwillingness to embrace the word results in the socialist programs we do have being funded and administered in a half-assed way, which plays into the hands of the programs' critics.
And 'round and 'round we go.
