“I think this is the worst election in my lifetime,” said George Argodale, a Nikki Haley supporter from Gainesville, Virginia. “It’s just terrible that we don’t have better candidates.”

“That’s a sad state of affairs for our country that those are the two best candidates that we can come up with,” agreed Peggy Hudson, a primary voter in Charleston, South Carolina.

Judith Smith, from Moncks Corner, South Carolina, said of Biden and Trump: “That’s like choosing between a hedgehog and a porcupine.”

As the primary season sputters to an expected ending, following Haley’s withdrawal from the Republican primary on Wednesday, voters’ frustration with their general election options is palpable.

    If that happen Trump wins. Democrats can’t put anyone in on the zero hour against Trump. If the Democrats pulled Biden that would signal to the Republicans and the on the fence independent that the Democrats are weak and that Biden is a horrible president (which he is) but they can’t back out now.

    Biden not going win because he gets more or less Democratic votes. He will win due to the Conservative voters who won’t vote Trump. Like my boss full blown Republican still voted for Biden last time.

      Your boss wouldn’t prefer an alternative to Trump who isn’t a feeble old man?

        He wanted Nikki and no Democrats can’t pull Biden and win and deep down we all know it. What you think would happen if Biden was to resign right before the election? Republicans would tear them apart. They have come to far with that old man. Trump isn’t much younger and suffering from dementia. So fucked either way.
