Romney was trash because he tried to compliment Obama too much, meanwhile Obama raked his ass over the coals with character assassinations. It was fucking sad, the Republicans are pansies.

For whatever it's worth--you know how polls are--Sanders is leading in both Iowa and New Hampshire now. These states never seem to matter in the Republican primary, but the dems are different.

Well there you go. Still, the polls are quite overstated in their relevancy. But it's not so hard to see how Bernie could beat her, I've been pondering on who will mobilise the feminist/SJW vote actually. Bernie who actually stands for their ideologies more accurately than any candidate yet (possibly) or Hillary who would serve much more as a symbolic choice. First female president.

Of course. O'Malley has 5%, but I see those pollers as flipping to Bernie or Hillary (more likely) when it comes time to caucus. Speaking of which, the caucus process looms in this. It's not a vote. It's a stand around and argue for an extended period of time. Bernie's support is pretty motivated for that sort of thing. He probably has NH locked up, but Obama had a good lead in the polls in 08 and went on to lose it.

Yeah, yeah, just like how he had no chance in Iowa, and like how Trump stood no chance at getting the nomination (my money says it is). I'd say Sander's is definitely a long shot, but it's not looking as impossible now as all the pundits were making it out to be months back.

Trump is not going to get the nomination, and i think iv'e explained why numerous times. It's basically written in stone. But you guys can go ahead and keep entertaining yourselves with those whole bernie and trump thing.

From many people's perspective it's "make the people who catch more fish than they need give their extra fish to other people". Not that I agree with this as a policy, but I can see why poor people would feel that way.

Do you not understand how bad wealth inequality is in this country (and the world, for that matter)? The .05% control almost all the wealth. And this is not because they just worked harder than everyone else.
