Not if I can help it. His policies are terrifying and his grandstanding is ridiculous.

Information on all of those candidates was available in mass from many sources. The media may be slanted, but they are not responsible for being the sole source of information on every candidate and their policies nor should they be expected to. Personally, I know very few people that base their decisions on who to vote for based on information in the media. Also, did you miss the debates? One can hardly be surprised at the lack of fund generation for some of the candidates following those appearances :o)...
