Hello! I'm an outside view, kind of. I have very mixed political standing.
I go back and forth on if the Republican party is doing poorly or not. Popular online forums are often very liberal, but I see a lot of conservatives in other areas and real life. I think the next presidential election will show where the party stands. As for what could be causing the problem, my knee-jerk reaction is to say that when the big name people like Trump say extreme stuff, it causes middle ground people to want to distance themselves. In truth, I'm not a professional political analyzer, so what I've seen may very well not represent the truth. What's your opinion on it?
I agree with you. Far-right talking heads like Trump, and I think Cruz, threaten the party's stability and course. It alienates independents and those who don't side with either party. I disagree with those who blame the media for the party's current state, but that is just me.
Yeah, I don't think the media damages either party much. What candidate do you think will win the Republicn primary? My democratic mother thinks it'll be Jeb Bush, but my extremely republican grandfather thinks it'll be John Kasich.
Well, I personally like Bush more the Kasich, but they both sit well with me. I'm no good with election predictions, but I could see it coming down Bush and Walker. As for who comes out on top, I'd have to hold back on saying my thoughts until after the debate Thursday. Then I think I may have a clearer picture of the candidates.
See, I thought my granddad would be more for Bush; I don't really know what he likes more about Kasich. It's still too early to really know for sure anyway. After the debate it'll be a lot more clear. I'll check back here on Friday to see what your thoughts are!
