Barnes added.

Barnes said Clinton will have a difficult time winning the general election because so many Americans have a negative view of her.

"Whether we like it or not, she's a polarizing figure and I think she would have a very difficult time being elected and governing," he said.

Taylor said, "I am ready for a president who can bring people together."
