Who said anything about Crooked Hillary winning? Trump will win. He tapped into the anger of many Americans who are fed up with working two or three part time jobs to keep a roof over their heads.

So...how come Sanders isn't doing well? Whenever I see or hear him, he seems like quite a sincere guy who wants better for America. The other two though seem to be throwing every media trick going.

It's nice and one thing to want things. It's an entirely different thing to be able to execute on those plans.

His vague answers on the his exact plans on breaking up banks, his holier than thou attitude in abandoning southern minorities because they wouldn't vote for him, A seemingly complete lack of foreign affairs knowledge after his disastrous Univision interview...these things tend to add up.

Probably the final nail in the coffin was when he went after Barney Frank. A man not only with a lot more accomplishments than Bernie himself, but a man who votes even more to left of Bernie on just about all of Bernie's issues. He's been the literal face of Progressive America for some time now and co authored the largest financial regulation bill in the history of the country.

While I became somewhat concerned with Bernie after the first 2 or 3 things, his little barrage with Frank quite frankly put me off of him almost completely. He's done some good in pushing a few issues out to the front, but I honestly am just not feeling the Bern anymore after his recent escapades.

Ah, I get it. The Lib Dems over here are similar. They have a lot of good ideas and mean well, but they are unelectable.

I think Donald Trump is considering Allen West for his VP choice. It's obvious who Clinton wants. We still have to wait for the convention to know for sure. I'm a moderate and the only way for me to vote for Trump is if he chooses a good VP. Allen West would be excellent.

Trump just swooped past Clinton in the polls.

The CNN poll completely ignores the 18-34 YO Demographic btw. Might have something to do with it.

Or rather, the margin of error was apparently too high to report with it. Still, a close race in a year drifting towards the DARKEST TIMELINE is....something.

We may as well all vote for Trump. Let's laugh at his hair and get this whole civil war thing over with already.

Thankfully, he won't actually be able to do most of the things he's suggested (I doubt he can even remember what he said anyway). Regardless of his position, he'd still need to get his ideas past others before they can go ahead.

I think what's really worrying here though, is just how broken the democratic system is in the US. One of the richest men going who has said some disgusting and outrageous things has managed to get where he is...

It is also confirmed that Gary Johnson and Jill Stein will make it to the debate stage. This will be very interesting. I think it will be very close between Clinton and Donald Trump. Let's just say that it will be Donald Trump as the winner because clearly it is what will happen.

No idea where you read your news Spock, but Gary Johnson and Jill Stein aren't confirmed and nowhere near the 15 percent in polling needed to get on the stage.
