January 16, 201511 yr Democrats seem to be a little more tolerant of candidates who do not fit the mold of who they want. Fringe left democrats felt Bill Clinton was too Centrist but after the primary, still supported him in the general election and reelection. Centrist democrats didn't care for how far left Obama was but still came out to support him in the general election and reelection. Is a divide starting to build in the Democratic party like has formed in the Republican party? The Democratic Party has always been much more fractured than the GOP. The Dems' problem is they have even fewer viable options for POTUS than the Republicans. I think whenever Hillary's time is up as the top dog, that following primary will be highly contested, with candidates from all over the causes map as the party tries to fill the vacuum.
January 16, 201511 yr Probably about as well as centrist Republicans do with the lunatic fringes of their party, who dominate the primary voting. They all get labeled as RINOS, so I'm sure these folks will get labeled as DINOs. If the label fits wear it . Christie is a RINO .
January 17, 201511 yr So talking with a guy at work, doesn't care who runs for Reps as long as pro-life. Thus a party that has issues if that is your only criteria. Eliminates candidates and appeals to fringe.
January 17, 201511 yr Lots of reports of him running again. Is he the early favorite? Can he beat Jeb? He can win the nomination, but I think he is trying to beat William Jennings Bryan's record at failed White House runs.
January 18, 201511 yr Mitt is coming to Florida to raise money. Talk about a waste of time- between the support for Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio in this state, he won't get enough money to cover the gas for his private jet.
January 27, 201511 yr I could care less if the Republicans win the White House or not. They sucks just as bad, if not worse than the Democrats. Which that is the problem with our country. Is that fact that whoever is president the other party doesn't and won't support them so nothing really ever gets accomplished for the good of the country.

January 30, 201511 yr Mitt says he will not run. Thank you, Mitt!!! Now, someone go talk to Jeb Bush and tell him what a terrible idea it is.
January 30, 201511 yr Mitt says he will not run. Thank you, Mitt!!! Now, someone go talk to Jeb Bush and tell him what a terrible idea it is. Mitt was leading the polls and dropped out. Bush now leads over Huckabee and Paul, but all are under 30% Hillary has over 55% of the Dem Polls at this point
January 30, 201511 yr Mitt was leading the polls and dropped out. Bush now leads over Huckabee and Paul, but all are under 30% Hillary has over 55% of the Dem Polls at this point Romney's exit likely was worked out during recent meeting in Utah between Jeb and Mitt. This is big for Jeb because he won't have to fight Mitt for mega-donations from the GOP corporate fat cats. Mitt, no doubt, received some concessions from Jeb if he wins, i.e., appointing conservative Mormon to high court, possible Cabinet job for Mitt or one of his boys, etc. Jeb right now is pushing all the right buttons.
January 30, 201511 yr Mitt was leading the polls and dropped out. Bush now leads over Huckabee and Paul, but all are under 30% Hillary has over 55% of the Dem Polls at this point I haven't paid to much attention to who all is running yet. Did Hillary say she is definitely running for it again?
