What are your thoughts about the diversity of GOP candidates running for the next President of the United States?

With regards to political parties, the dominant two are the Democrats and Republicans. Not much more diversity unfortunately unless third party candidate does something phenomenal that'll resonate through media in some kind of radical way.

Other than that, let not Hillary win, that's all that I'm gonna say. I'm about to reenlist and don't want her to ruin it.

I think it is time to just recognize that there are several candidates and stop analyzing what race, gender, etc they are.

Diversity is only a factor because we make it a factor. And, frankly it has become a BS factor.

I think it is always good to have more than one candidate. It is better if one or more of them have views that I can support. It is best if one of those that I support gets elected....

Diversity of viewpoints is useful, as I find that most candidates don't agree with me. Other kinds of "diversity" are interesting, but irrelevant.
