It's all pointless, it's Hillary!'s turn so she should just assume the job, we could avoid all the trouble and money spending and annoyances, and have the Smartest Woman in the World as our President, maybe with Michelle Obama as the VP, and in 8 years perhaps Chels and one of the Obama girls

Nothing needs be said about Hillary! It's her turn, we all know that, she should be president by acclimation or executive order or everyone should just accede. Rs and any other Ds are irrelevant. What difference, at this point, does it make? --R On 3/24/15 4:51 PM, Andrew Strasfogel

There appears to be race among the R non-candidates to see who can brand himself as the most conservative of the pack. Cruz is off to a flying start with his call to abolish EPA, the IRS, and non-Christians. OTOH, Jeb doesn't seem to care one way or the other so long as he is the first to raise

I think what you mean to say is theres a race among Republicans to be the first to prove himself unelectable in the general election. They need to find a moderate that the right wing can hold its nose and accept or they'll lose again. I sure as hell hope Hilary isn't the Democratic pick or we'll

The problem is Walker is a non-starter with any of the unions and Cruz wears his religion so far out on his sleeve that non-Christians won't vote for him. They'd have to get every single Republican to vote and vote for them that they're unelectable in a general election... -Curt From:

Theres always a 3rd party candidate, NPR just neglects to talk about them. Seriously, in 2008 Ron Paul (then running as a Republican) was second in Nevada, NPR reported on the 1st and 3rd place finishers completely skipping him. So many people (including me) called them on it they had to release
