    This next election will be interesting. I'm not sure Clinton will be able to stand even if there is a slight lean to Democrats at the moment. I agree with the article though as the Republican candidates are so numerous that voices are being drowned out.

      if it is to be believed, Sanders is really making a push. I know here in Georgia, there is a growing group of us who really support him. He was the first person Ive ever donated money to in an election.

        I'm Canadian, and my friends and I all took a test to see which candidate we sided the most with, and we all got roughly +85% in favour of Bernie Sanders. I like him. He seems like he's got his head in the right place.

        Yeah-it's weird seeing Sander's jumping up in the general polls Source

      To add to your point about the numerous Republican candidates, every time one of them has a meltdown it seems to impact the Republican organization as a whole. My hope would be that it pulls them to a more moderate stance, at least on social issues.

        It does help that the entirety of news media is left. Can you imagine if Hilarity Clinton was republican? You'd be seeing nothing but Benghazi on the news 24/7.

      It will be interesting to see how the conservative field gets whittled down. My coworker is confident that Jeb will end up with the nomination. He might be right - I don't know who else could make it through the field and stand a chance at winning.

        We're going to end up with a Bush vs Clinton race all over again. Fucking legacies. Yeah, I'll vote for Clinton, but I hate the whole concept around this election.

        And the GOP primaries? My god, you can totally tell that the party is flailing when there are so many people running this time.

        Trump is second in polls? ROFL, don't make me laugh!
