Michael Arens, an IT Business Analyst, who is politically conservative and socially liberal, follows the presidential campaign loosely. “I’m not really a big fan of Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Hillary does have more political background than Trump, so that’s a plus for her.”
After trying to get more of an answer out of who Arens likes he finally said, “This election is a tough one. I still think I’m probably going to write in my Dad’s name on the ballot. I trust him.”
Arens’s final thoughts on this campaign are, “I just don’t know. I can’t honestly pick one to run the country. The outcomes don’t seem good either way.”

David Schnittger, originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, works at Squire Patton Boggs LLP in Washington, D.C. When asked if he was following the presidential campaigns, he responded with an eager, “Yep!”
According to Schnittger, he would normally be leaning towards the Republican candidate. But, he stated, “That’s a little more difficult this year with Trump as the head man for the Republicans.”
Schnittger does not like Hillary Clinton either. He said he has big concerns for her and that she is not someone he would in a traditional election ever consider voting for. In addition, Schnittger said, “I’m not really enthusiastic about voting for her or the current Republican nominee at this point.”
He wasn't done discussing Trump. “I just think that the wall he is proposing is sort of indicative of the larger problem. He talks about a lot of things that aren’t realistic. Governing is not about saying things that get peoples hopes up, but you can’t deliver on. It’s about being honest.”
Schnittger’s final thoughts on the presidential campaign were, “Wow, these are the options.”
