We are so tired of the negativity with the campaign news. If the candidates would tell the voters what they plan to do if elected rather than bash one another, it would be refreshing and we would have a good selection of decent candidates!

Rubio has changed his presentation to bashing instead of what his plans are. He lost our vote.
