    How are Republicans standing by him? His illegal immigration rant struck a chord. To just dismiss it as racist or anti all immigration is a bit simplistic. He's Ross Perot promising to run America like a bidness. He's a celebrity and America loves celebrities. He's not religious, he's not even really all that conservative. He's donated money to democrats. He's a sideshow before we get down to Bush Clinton and the Establishment Fights Back

    In all seriousness the bigger question is why is Hillary the best the democrats have? I don't even know why we can't wait until 2016 for this bullshit. We'll hate whoever gets the nomination by the time the election rolls around

    Trump says he's ultra religious. Just SMH

    Anyways, yes that's a great point on the democrats. It's weird how there's 48 Republicans and essentially just Hillary on the democrat side. I figured by now a prominent democrat would stand up. A John Edwards type or something. My guess is more Democrats don't want to have to fight the Clinton machine. If Clinton's are good at anything, it's raising money and making their competition look bad. Jeb Bush is the same.

    So we get another Bush Clinton race. If nothing else, there'll be plenty of shit talking.

    Bernie Sanders drew 11,000 people in fucking Phoenix. I know most on this bored and the corporate media will dismiss him as far left, but he's honest and one of the few willing to represent the bottom 98%. I wouldn't totally dismiss him. A lot of people, conservatives even, were screwed by the Great Recession, through no fault of their own, and many still haven't really recovered to 2008 levels. They don't see many politicians willing to do anything

    Sanders will knock Hillary out of the race. The question is, will the democrats go with him or will that open the floodgates for the usual suspects like Biden his time

    You really think sanders can pull the donors? I'm not saying dems couldn't get behind his message and anti hillary movement, but to think he has pull enough to get the $$$ is questionable.

    This is true. In politics today, it's impossible to discuss issues without there being some sort of ridiculous backlash against the person for discussing what many people talk about in their daily lives.

    As with 99 % of elections, the American people will be left with no good choice to vote for.
