Regarding the democrat debate, i think everyone except Sanders and Clinton should drop out already. Also, it's nice to see Sanders is well received. Is Biden still planning on running? |

It focused on a certain demography through, so will only tell half of the story Quote:
Not to mention his family issue. Honestly I don't care about him much during Obama's 8 years. But have great respect, admiration on how he handled such huge family loss

Hillary's performance probably reassured waverers who might have switched to Biden.
I now don't think we'll see Biden unless Hillary hits a roadblock of some kind next spring. I expect she'll lose New Hampshire and perhaps Iowa, but win Nevada and South Carolina and start piling up victories in the Southern states on March 1st. I like Bernie's focus on inequality and the dysfunction of contemporary American capitalism, but it's very hard to see him in the Oval Office. I thought O'Malley acquitted himself well. I'll be curious to see whether his polling numbers get a bump in the weeks ahead. He has the making of a decent vice presidential candidate were it not for his coming from a small state like Maryland. (Yes, I know Biden is from Delaware, but the 2008 election was pretty sui generis. Clinton will need to hold on to at least one or two of Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Sherrod Brown might be a good pick being from Ohio and standing to Clinton's left.)

- Hillary just got a nice 11 hour informational courtesy for the House Republicans.
- Jeb just order a across the board pay cut as he is running out of money. - Almost end of Oct and Trump still leads the pack. - If Rubio somehow wins the Republican nomination, i am putting money on one of the Castro brothers being choose for VP.

71 percent of Republicans think Trump most electable; party professionals disagree
Carson, Bush, and Rubio are all thought electable by over 60 percent of Republicans; the rest of the field score lower. In July Clinton held an eighteen point lead over Trump in trial heats. That margin has narrowed to just two: http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/...ump-vs-clinton On the Benghazi front, a poll from CNN/ORC shows that half the Republicans interviewed thought the Select Committee was motivated by "political gain" rather than acting "objectively." That's not necessarily a sign of criticism of the Committee within Republican ranks. Roughly a third of Republicans said the Committee was politically motivated and thought that was just fine. An even greater share of independents felt the same way. http://www.politicsbythenumbers.org/...d-and-like-it/

I have a creeping feeling that Republican will win the White House if Hillary is nominated.
Maybe it could come from reading too much shounen on my part. How the established candidate that just lost the election/competition last time around, almost always will get their ass whooped by a new underdog element. But yeah, it just a feeling, intuition almost.

At least Republicans still vote. Democrats who refuse to vote are worse, and if they want the GOP to run the country then they get exactly what they deserve.

The "trial heats" concern the general election, so asking a national sample is the correct choice. Obviously asking people how they are going to vote next November isn't predictive, but the trends are informative. State primary polls generally track the national trends, especially outside of Iowa and maybe New Hampshire as well. Iowa's Republicans include a much more influential bloc of religious conservatives than exist nation-wide. NH Republicans are more moderate than Republicans nationally. Iowa's Democrats are closer to the national distribution of opinion. New Hampshire's Democrats are more liberal, because many of them migrated from liberal Massachusetts over the past few decades.

and the progressives on board are all missing forest for tress. It doesn't matter what Hillary stands for. Even if you don't like her, you should still her for one reason and the same i would not support trump or any republican.
The Supreme Court, 4 of current 9 justices are 70+ in age. Whoever is president for the next 8 years would have a chance appoint at least 1 if not 4 justices. if the liberals stay home on election night because they don't like the Clintons and a Republican wins. Don't start complaining when the another Conservative is appointed to the Supreme Court.
