The presidential race for this November is heating up. With all of the debates happening on TV and news articles about the candidates, it can be hard to tell who to vote for. You can look on their website and read their policy positions, but at the end of the day, it's hard to tell who is telling you the truth.

The media always likes to categorize politics in terms of conflicting groups. Are you voting for a Democrat or a Republican? A conservative or a progressive? A Washington outsider or a Washington insider?

However, all these news sites are missing the point. The real question is are you voting for a duck or a turtle?

All people look like ducks or turtles

When I was a younger, I heard commentators on the radio talk about how all people look like ducks or turtles. If you are with a group of people right now, look at their faces and you'll see what I'm talking about. It's a fact of life.

Is a duck or turtle better?

That is really up to you to decide. Here is a definitive list of the presidential candidates still in the race to help you make that tough decision.


1. Hillary Clinton

Gotcha catch all the votes!


2. Donald Trump

He tries to tell us he's not a quack...


3. Bernie Sanders

Potentially coming in 2016, "Franklin Goes to the White House"


4. Ted Cruz

Sea turtle is not amused.


5. Marco Rubio

Aka master of the duck face


6. John Kasich

Slow and steady wins the race, right?
