“I’m angry because neither of these candidates has actually said anything that they are really going to do,“ participant Judy M., said. “They are so busy sniping at each other and at the people around them, they haven’t bothered to remember they are in a political election and they need to tell me something.”

When asked about the issue they hope candidates focus the most on during the debate, most participants said the economy or national security. 

When asked what it takes to be president of the United States, answers ranged from “Just be real, don’t be crazy,” and “prove that she has foreign policy experience.”
