Vote Bernie ### 3/5 — Fine *2024-11-04* This game is fine, I would love to see more from this studio, I’ve never heard of them before, but I anticipate their next project being a real banger. ### 1/5 — Characters are too slow *2020-03-09* Everyone moves too slow and there’s not enough money in the levels. Even if you get all the money you can and avoid everyone you still die. ### 5/5 — Ted is hot *2019-10-19* Ted Cruzs model is hot I need to date him now ### 5/5 — Should be 2 stars *2018-09-23* This isn’t a very good game I would vote for Ben Shapiro if he runs. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-01-28* This game is a total waste of time it is sooooooo boring. If I could review this I would give it 1 star😘 ### 5/5 — Very fun and addicting *2016-08-30* Voting for Hillary in general originally Bernie supporter game is awesome controls could be a little better though ### 1/5 — Bad *2016-08-06* It is so bad it has bad controls you can't turn streets and the music is dumb. I want to be hillary I have to pay for her and be some one fake ### 4/5 — president *2016-06-12* I think this is a good game but you shouldn't have to pay for all the candidates If I could I would vote for sanders or Hillary because trump is a racist ### 1/5 — Boring *2016-05-19, version 1.0* But I'm voting for Hillary Clinton and she's not races and she dose not lie ## Frequently asked questions about Running For President ### What is the gameplay like in Running For President?
