Who will be president? It's down to 7 .... I'll update as people fall off.

It seems like the candidates get weaker and weaker each year, right? Sanders will be mid 80s if he makes 2 terms!

Here's a totally unbiased list of those remaining in the race:

Democrats:



Hillary Clinton -
67th United States Secretary of State
(2009–2013)
from New York

Republicans:



Daffy Duck
Some guy with money who runs hotels and somehow can think he is qualified to run the country
Everything that comes out of his face contradicts everything that previously came out of his face and he's a cartoon caricature of a rich man who likes to put his name on hotels and fire people on television shows.

You've got the republicans and democrats switched.

I went on a date last summer with a guy who wouldn't shut up about physics and his PhD. He said he didn't think Bernie would make it very far, as he wasn't getting enough attention. He seemed quite skeptical when I said he was a strong contender. I like being right. Even though I think Hilary will end up running, Bernie still has a decent chance.

In my country they're Conservative and Liberals

I don't even know the difference between democrats and republicans. To my understanding the US is a democratic republic. Who's left and who's right?

Democrats are left, Republicans right.

Do you guys have other parties running?

We technically do have other parties running, but they don't stand a shot at all.

My father doesn't want Sanders to win. He says that if Sanders wins, then it will result in a gridlock and nothing will get done.

Here's the way that I look at it:

I think the only reason that Trump is in the lead right now, is because there are so many Republican candidates.

If there were, say, only 2, then there is no way in hell that Trump would be winning in the polls.

After seeing how congress has been so obstructionist with Obama, I imagine any democratic president will face the same challenge.

I'm still hoping that Trump has a tantrum, drops out of the republican race and runs independently, splitting the republican vote.

Question: so are congress primarily right wing or is it intended to be a spread of political views? I don't really know anything about the US government

It's whoever gets voted in, so I'd assume that means it's meant to be a spread of political views?
Right now it's majority right.

And of course they don't even necessarily represent the majority of Americans, thanks to gerrymandering.

I don't understand how Super Tuesday works.

Seems like Trump has 50 % of the vote while the other republicans have 12.5, 12.5, 12.5,12.5 ....


wtf

There's too many in that pool, he needs to go just against 1 guy

@#@#$%

My fear grows each day he gets closer to the white house ...

I understand that there are many discontented voters but chosing Trump as candidate for the Republicans damages not only GOP's reputation. Imagine what he could do within four years if he was elected. Somehow this two party system doesn't work anymore. If people can only choose between a bad option and a worse one they won't go voting at all. And what happens in the end? Money wins.

Might as well take Ben Carson off the list
