Presidential candidates make dissing a precedent

As an independent, I am sitting here watching a Republican debate, and it is such a spectacle.

I am open to any candidate right now, but I have a very difficult time understanding why no matter what question is posed to a candidate, they don’t know how to answer without wasting the first several minutes of their response dissing President Barack Obama or candidate Hillary Clinton rather than simply using their full allotted time to give a full answer to what they would do.

I am not really excited about any particular candidate, but it is really a sad statement about the process. Whatever your view, get out and vote, and please try to get informed no matter how hard they make it.
