I find this funny. The reason i find this funny is that Republicans still havent realised that the quantity of candidates you guys put up every year only gives the democrats ammunition for when you have chosen a candidate. Heres how it will go, There will be a crap load of debates of which the republicans will all throw crap at each other coming from all angles. You will have some guy with no chance of winning come out with outrageous statements that rags on the more compelling candidates. he will get a bump and the likely candidate will drop in the polls. If you think about it, the republicans are doing the job the democrats should be doing, research into the candidates.
On the Democrat side, you have a small field of potential candidates, the debates will be less big blows at the others, and more promises. etc. And will come out of it virtually unscathed.
Im not going to put my vote behind any of the candidates yet. I do think Hillary has the best chance of winning, and honestly has one of the better resumes, She was in the white house, and she now knows the world leaders. But she comes with baggage that will come up, so im not sure how much that will come into play. She does know how to play the game though.
Bernie would be a good candidate as well.
The democrats are going to be putting in a crap load of money into this election im sure, to save the ACA and such. We usually do well in the primarys, not so much in the midterms.
I could rag on the republican candidates, but frankly, this post would be 10 pages by the end of the 3rd candidate. So i will wait until the field narrows.
Just my opinion from today.
