I'd give the Donald about a 4. Basically I think the pro's would be not messing around with the continued economic recovery and getting us into another shoddy war. The cons are of course compulsive lying, extrordinary poor judgment in most matters, and tremendous ignorance. But his extreme incompetence actually has a good side and is better than actual evil evil people like Cheney and Rumsfeld.
Picking Republican or Democrat to me is tough because I'm an individual issues examiner. As I have said across numerous threads in the War Room I'm: Pro guns, pro-life (but abortion remain decriminalized), usually anti-war (anti-Iraq war, we should have left Afghanistan long ago, quit supporting anti-Assad forces, leave Libya alone, abandon our hatred and paranoia of Iran, and generally wishing we'd abandon the middle east), and an atheist.
I certainly don't think both Democrats and Republicans are the same. Republicans are generally delusional bots about situations (OMG....Obama's a crazy muslim socialist facist!!!, or OMG the immigrants are gonna destroy the country and Europe is under Sharia Law))))), and Democrats are generally delusional about solutions (OMG, life isn't fair, so let's shoe horn women and minorities into schools and jobs regardless of merit!, or OMG it''s an overly vain society so let's celebrate grotesquely obese people to solve the problem!).
That being said I think that political debate between the two parties is largely distraction theatre and issues are seldom looked at seriously.
Biggest threat to democracy I think is environmental as I think the world could go crazy if third world pollution (which will likely never be curbed) starts to drown first world places. Of what you listed, I think it'd be money in politics.
I''ve never done good picking Presidents, but have a lot of respect for Obama as a person. The way he educated himself, his achievement, and the way he raised his family impeccably - class without controversy.
Optional questions - I'm shit at running but can bench my weight, and I make at least teh 100K, Not into trannies and never slept with one and never will.
