 SHORT ANSWER

The major candidates left in the race are Hilary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, and Ted Cruz. 

I don't really support any specific candidate because I don't agree with any of their views. I think the best ft would be Bernie Sanders except for the fact that he wants to raise taxes. I think the rest of the candidates are corrupt and aren't going to help America in any way. 

I think the United States is becoming more divided due to this election because people have very strong opinions about who they think should be the president. These strong opinions are causing fights, insults and strange apps to occur. People aren't really thinking how each candidate will effect America as a whole but how it will effect their personal lives. 

What concerns me most about this election is that there is no real good candidate. In my opinion, Hilary is completely corrupt, Trump is insane, Cruz just cares about beating Trump, and Bernie is going to raise taxes. I feel like our next president is going to have real issues running the united states. 

I think the big topics pushing these candidates are immigration, taxes, warfare, and the lower class. I think illegal immigration is a big factor (or t least that's all that Trump talks about) and the lower class goes with the idea of how people are going to distribute money and how they plan on taxing people. 

The topics most important to me are taxing and immigration. I believe that taxes should not be more expensive for the wealthy just because they (or most of them) had to work to get to that point and they shouldn't be punished for being wealthy. I also think that we can't get rid of all the illegal immigrants in the United States because that would take forever and just isn't fair to the people who came here to improve their lives and their children's lives.
