Can anyone name an accomplishment from this one?

Before his nomination in 2008, can you name any accomplishments of Obama?

So, you can't name one.

Rubio is not my candidate and I won't be voting for him.  Why should I make any effort to name any accomplishment by him?

Obama, on the other hand, is your boy, and I don't seen any mention of any accomplishment.

Most bizarre presidential primary season I can recall.  In the latest Qunnipiac national poll, my guy Sanders is ahead of all of the Republican contenders whereas Hillary is about even with them (actually, Hillary lags behind most of them).

I'm pretty sure President Barack Hussein Obama isn't running again and I will put either Democratic candidate up against any republic one in terms of accomplishments.

Additionally, a quick check of Wikipedia will give you your desired answer on marco rubio or our President.

The frustrating thing to me is my man Kasich usually polls better general election wise than any Republican running and is a fairly popular governor in an important state, and he's having to move left for the Democrat/independent voters in these Republican primaries since he's not as famous or as crazy as Trump or as sleazy as Cruz. 

This year's election feels like it's coming straight from a dystopian novel.  It's just amazing how the extremes of both parties have taken control of our political processes.

As far as political candidates are concerned, the United States of America has "jumped the shark".

No surprise there - the media makes it easy to manipulate the mindless voters

Our politicians reflect the voters they hope to lead.

Trump just didn't happen over night, he reflects the wants of a lot of white, xenophobic and somewhat bigoted authoritarian voters.

Cruz reflects those voters too, but his group includes the fundamentalist christian wing who don't want to participate in society, just rule over it.

Unlike the far left who want health control, gun control, birth control, voter control, border control, control control...

Nearly all of our President's since the beginning have been Christians, even our current claims to be.  Other than lately, it seems to have worked out so far.

This is the best description I've seen of the presidential race.  Thank you.
